Are Electrification Projects Dead for NJT

 by Lackawanna565 ¦  Mon Sep 08, 2014 11:51 am ¦  Forum: New Jersey Transit NJT Rail and Light Rail LRT ¦  Topic: Are Electrification Projects Dead for NJT ¦  Replies: 34 ¦  Views: 14347

I don't know if someone asked this on here. Curious if NJT will expand it. I'm sure with the ALP45DPs I guess you can say it's dead. But I read on other sites that NJT is planning on expanding it on the Mountclair-Booton Line, west of Dover, Pocono Mainline (when ever it gets built), Meadowlands lin...

Once and a great while someone will say that Metro North is destroying railroad history. But of course the old system is kept in place. They will have alot of problems.

Is posting certain information on trains illegal?

I'm posting this in here. Probably the best location on the forum to post this topic. I noticed on some Facebook pages that people will say if the freight train has so many cars loaded and unloaded. Is that legal for them to do that? They don't say a certain car is loaded with hazardous material. Bu...

That's the one I found. I thought there were others.

Passing sidings on the Montclair-Booton Line Locations

What are there locations? I found one. Forget the name of the town. I have the video saved on Youtube. I'm trying to find the others. I did a Google search. Like always. Everything I'm looking for didn't come up.

Re: Lackawanna Cutoff Passenger Service Restoration

I didn't check if someone mentioned this on here. The article I'm referring to is a few years old. PA state representative Paul Kanjorski was talking about running trains at 140mph over the cut-off. It will be nice to see if they did that. Both for people going to the city and for railfans taking ph...

I hope there will be decent service to the Poconos or Scranton. I will be using the service alot going to New York City or a Giants game. But if I don't use because the schedules aren't right for my schedule. I found some good spots to get footage of trains on the line. And I'm sure the signal rule ...

Looking for information on the Delaware-Lackawanna

I'm looking for their trains symbols, what days they run and approximate times they leave Scranton. I found something yesterday. But the site was updated nine years ago. I'm sure the information has changed over the years.

Most of my railfanning is done in PA since I live here. Of course. My favorite lines to railfan are the Keystone Corridor, Pocono Main, Sunbury Sub and the Buffalo Line.

I guess signal work has been halted on the line. Last time I checked. They only got one of the distant signals in service at Parkesburg. I checked a few days ago on railroadpicturearchives.net to see if anyone uploaded any photos of the areas that the work will be done in. Nothing.

I guess the installing the new signal system has been halted. To look on railpicturearchives.net if someone had recent photos taken in certain towns. Nothing.

Is the name of the line that goes through that town the Oakland Sub? I might railfan that when I'm California this year. Just want to make I get the name of the line right. Just did a Google search. And like 90% of the time. I can't find what I'm looking for.
