I thought the IVs were still in service. Where did they go?
Me too? I know I've seen some in morning consists. I assume they're put in for accessibility reasons.
What I meant by that was the Comet IV Cabs, they were taken out of leading service due to the fact that the EPIC system they have is out of date, and now I guess they do not have PTC installed. You can periodically see them on the NJCL, NEC, and ME lines trailing behind the locomotive. Some of them are used as protect cabcars, connected to the protect unit so they are capable of higher speeds.
