4118 is dead in storage at the MMC awaiting shipment to C&K.

There are only about 2 dozen cars. The expense related to removing the CSS likely isn't justified against the practice of just doing Field 92D inspections between 180Ds.

NJT has not used a ballast cleaner and likely will not.

My guess is that since the Comet V cab cars are handling the task just fine here along the Atlantic City Line, NJ Transit no longer has the need to utilize the IVs in that roll. Again, just a theory. Ben The point being that if these lame excuses I get about "incompatibilities" with ALPs ...

NJT Comet IV cabs are not used to lead trains anymore because they apparently "don't work well with the ALP45/46 locomotives." Take that as you will. The other one is that parts are no longer available for maintenance and the air brake system is outdated. Other rumors floating around sugge...

I guess since we’ve managed to bring this old thread back, we can talk about why NJT is still keeping 4020 around.. Per the thread "PL42 4020", 4020 will be the first to go out for overhaul. Maybe one of the NJT confidants :wink: can help us? I was told today that 4020 will be the first P...

Probably testing power assigned to Conrail's Shared Assets pool that will operate over portions of NJT's Newark division to ensure the system is working properly. I've also read that NJT has an equipment shortage due to installation of PTC requiring units in the shop so may not have had anything su...

Engines lead on 2600 series trains all the time. I see it every day. There is no dedicated fleet of trains for these runs. Trains can be flipped into other rotations for whatever reason, including those that have been turned on the Sunnyside loop.

There is no rule stating power must be on the west end in Hoboken. Diesels are kept on the west end to cut down on noise and emissions in the depot but nothing requires them to be there. With locomotives filling in as cab cars on a regular basis engines can routinely be found east out in the station.

5416 and 5445. 8 cars, 2 engines.

The project is still live just quiet at the moment. It will eventually fill in the long slip and result in a heavy reconfiguration of the south side of the yard and sections of the light rail. I'm also not sure if they've reactivated Track 5 where the Fall 2016 crash was. 5 Depot remains out of serv...
