The PA. line is off and running as is the Maine operations.

There are still several pieces of motive power stored awaiting restoration and the call to active service. In addition, the M&E still has an impressive and varied fleet of commuter coaches ( NJT Comet I's ), ex-Amtrak Heritage coaches and pristine private cars awaiting return to service.

What's next on the agenda within the business plan ?

I think the old CNJ mainline from Aldene to Elizabeth has potential, especially once the SIRR and RVRR is up and running. Aside from potential freight customers a shuttle from Springfield, Kenilworth & Cranford to downtown Elizabeth might have potential.

Tom,

Have the ex NJT Comet I's been released from transit yet?? I saw a string of them sitting near MMC, but I haven't seen any in Morristown yet.

Thanks,
Steve
