To All:
Yesterday I posted a question about Wheel Slip Slide Panel Testing, on an M1 amd M3 Train and I got replies telling me NJT does'nt use M1 or M3's. There was a better question I should have asked, because, whether it's an M1, M3 or whatever, dosen't really matter.
I should have referenced the Wheel Slip Panels that our tester was designed for.
The Automatic Tester that was described yesterday, was designed for two GE Panels ( both with Blue Plug-in Cards). Panel part numbers are 17FL5D41 (used on LIRR M1) and 17FL228A1 (used on LIRR M3). Both of these Panels have a "test" Connector that interfaces with our tester. If the panel has a test connector, our testers will do the job.

If anyone can tell me if NJT Trains use either of these Wheel Slip Panels, and if there is anyone that you know within NJT that is responsible for this type of test equipment.
Thanks again for your help. :D
