Aside from the Diner Train consist in the yard, which included one of the ex Long Island Railroad coaches (Barnstable). I also saw in the yard a ex Atlantic Coast Line/SLRG coach # 257...

I am potentially planning a trip this summer/early fall to the Whippany Railway Museum and I would like to get some rolling stock photos of the Morristown & Erie if possible. I have a few questions I hope some folks can answer for me. 1) Does anyone have a roster listing of all the ex NJT Comet...

Regarding "current" operations for the NAUG, I am curious as if anyone could tell me what the situation is for motive power? I am tentatively planning a visit next Saturday and hoped to ride behind the FL-9 for power. With the reduction in the schedule for the Maine Eastern RR, the NAUG is...

I ended up contacting the Sterling Rail Inc. contact to see what information he could provide for me. From what I recived, there are 20 comet 1 cars left. 10 are cab units and the other 10 are trailer cars. 5 of the cars are located in Winslow Junction, NJ. The only information that confuses me, is ...

I know this is not a direct question related to GVT rolling stock. But, I thought the Erie Lackawanna Dining Car Preservation Society had 3 ex NJT Comet Cars. I found out when I re-read the Comet 1 information and now it appears that they only own two. Anyone know what happened to the RPCX 1802 http...

Does anyone know if there are any Comet 1 cars left on NJT property that are not spoken for (scrap or donated). Similar to those cars that were donated to museums and the MCVX cars? I know a public safety organization that could benefit from the use of one or two cars to train emergency responders
