There has been a PP set running on the West Trenton Line during the midday over the last week or so. Not sure if it's training or has replaced a MU run. Saw it from a distance last Thursday and heard horns on Friday.

Perhaps it was posted earlier in the thread, but what is the actual track mileage from Norristown to Pottstown (or from Bridgeport using the old Reading mileposts), and are there estimates for the actual proposed travel time?

SLII 9001 is slated for the RCTHS. Not sure of the disposition of the SLIII.

DPU's in South Jersey. Who would have thunk it!?

NJDOT is the statewide transportation authority which includes highways, airports, etc. NJT is the operating organization. They are connected but technically not the same. I do believe it is NJT that owns the trackage and ROW's.

Let's hope 39G is the rear portion.

There was an afternoon Warminster run that returned through Jenkintown around 5:35. Not sure about the morning train.
