Atlantic City Line

Hi I read in Railpace Magazine(Jan04) that N.J. Transit leased five ex-Amtrak F40's to be assigned to the Atlantic City Line so the GP40's there now can be moved to North Jersey. Has anyone seen the F40's yet. I look as often as I can but have not seen them. Are they in service or in the shop getting work? If anyone has info! THANKS!

There's a 6-page discussion of this topic on the NJT Rail forum.

NJT only leased four of them, and so far none of them have ventured out of Hoboken or MMC. Looks like they are just taking up space.
