The picture looks like an Amfleet II, if it is I am guessing it has something to do with long distance Eastern routes.

Are they in production?

New Jersey has approved recreational marijuana sales, although I don’t think it’s started yet. They can put some of the tax revenues into subsidies for transit like Pennsylvania does with the lottery. I would offer free off peak rides for senior citizens, disabled vets and college students with vali...

Glad I got to ride it a couple times when I would visit my then girlfriend, now wife, at Montclair State University 2000-2001. I would take the NJCL from Matawan to Hoboken and connect, this was before Secaucus Jct. The Montclair connection is one of those projects that made so much sense, even thou...

Corner bet: on Jan 1, 2031, there will be an Amfleet I running somewhere in Amtrak revenue service. Don't expect to be around to either collect or pay up. Maybe as a special maintenance of way car, business car, or axle count cars, but I doubt they will be in "revenue" service under Amtra...

Amtrak's plan calls for 3 daily NY Penn - Scranton with the following stops: Newark Broad Street, Summit, Morristown, Dover, Blairstown, East Stroudsburg, Mount Pocono, Tobyhanna, Scranton. I don't remember what NJ Transit's planned service levels were for Andover, however with Amtrak completing the...

Watching one of my favorite rail YouTube channels, Retired Railfan, I learned that Senior citizens can get a free rail pass on SEPTA. https://www.septa.org/fares/discount/seniors-ride-free-info.html I think this is awesome, NJ Transit should offer the same even if it’s only off peak.

I would think that the draw is workers in downtown NYC, which means weekdays. I,m too lazy to look at pre Covid NJT , PATH and ferry schedules, but from the coast line for example, what’s the time savings between going to Hoboken via the waterfront connection and then WTC, versus to Newark and then...

We are still are probably barely at 50% of normal work week commuting traffic levels compared to pre-covid. The weekends though apparently are more like 75-80%. Eventually we will get back 2019 levels, but we still might be a year or more away. South of Long Branch NJCL and RVL trains can now use du...

Extending the AirTrain JFK all the way from Jamaica to LGA is unnecessarily expensive. Similarly, constructing a branch off of the Port Washington Branch would also be considerably expensive, slow, and with the tight turns and having to navigate around existing landing paths, probably wouldn't be p...
