Anyone have a complete list of what is out there now? From the photos I saw, the line has grown, but I haven't seen any specific information recently.

I just discovered that this line of equipment is the next exit down the Parkway from my work. Tomorrow when I pick up my paycheck I will take a trip down and have a look.

Took a trip on a whim. The new stuff is whatever was stored at the MMC. Every last one of the FHs save the 4139 and 4140 is there, the 4127 joined the line, and so did the 4218. There was not many opportunities to snag pics and what have you, but yeah. I also didnt walk along side the line as I didnt want to get reported for trespassing. Either the 4111 or 4106 i dont remember which now is smattered with graffiti on the side. The line now basically stretches all the way from Cranford to Garwood.

Thats a hell of a lot of MU cars and its annoying that such is not in service, but this is what they want.

My question is how can NJT afford to put all this stuff OOS when money is tight in an economy such as this. Remember NJT is a state agency and the State of New Jersey has no money right now.

Just noticed out the window of 5718 enroute to the office that about 11 MUs are now all the way at the east end, almost to the end of cleared track by the former plastics freight customer. These may be the ones referred to earlier, but the east end main string of equipment still was just west of the Cranford station so these may be new arrivals.

It's possible that the Arrows at Garwood are damaged beyond repair needing more than traction motor swapouts, more along the
lines of replacing all the underframe equipment due to flooding damage, the same could be said for the Gp's and F-40's that are
on this lineup of dead equipment,
They all may have been parts donors already at MMC.

Also in the case of 4106 at least i remember seeing it post sandy a few times as well. It mustve had a major failure of some kind. Dont know, and we will never know.

I would love to know what is really behind each piece of equipment parked there vs speculate.
Next stop the square, journal square station next!

From what I heard, from a good source, the arrows destined there are not going back in to service. This however like anything else is subject to change but its part of the cars that would have been removed with the delievery of the MLVII cars

Are they stripped down, or is that on the fence too?

I have no idea of that respect but seeing that most of the external components are there then i would assume not.
