Best Place to see Toasters and ALP-44 before retirement

[nova08]

As it relates to the ACS motors. There have been a number of test runs on the Norristown line within the last week. At least 5 runs.

On 10/15 I saw either a toaster or ALP-44 leading a gel train down the Norristown line.

2301 and 2307 are assigned to two of the three gel trains.

2306 and 2308 were double heading a single car train the other day to Frazier Yard. Could this be the end?

[CNJGeep]

That was quite a few days ago and as far as I'm aware was the last trip for either of those units. 2306 is still at Frazer, pans up, as a spare.

According to a post on another related thread, the best place to see the toasters and ALP is going to be on.......NJT.

Apparently Transit is leasing 6 of the 7 units.

I have heard from a wee birdie that December 1st would be a good day to be along the PH Line if you want to see an AEM-7 running one last time.

Which line would that be?

I suspect that "PT" is what was intended

[CNJGeep]

PH, as in Philadelphia-Harrisburg, as in what the line is called. Just as the Wilmington Line is the PW line, and the Trenton line is the NYP line

Literally three posts above you lmao

So the farewell trip is only going to be a round trip from Paoli to Suburban Station?

Seems they put minimal effort into planning the trip compared to the Blueliner and Budd trips.
