Amtrak fan trips on Lehigh/Reading Lines.
CNJ GP40P Heritage unit on NJT. Only problem is it is not currently on neither RV line or NJ Coast Line,where it began its career. Maybe in due time?
Those are two I can think of.
One negative. The abolishment of H74(or76,depending on who you ask) on the former L&HR/Bel Del route to Portland via Martins Creek. :(

You probably won't see it on the Raritan Valley line unless one of the Historical Societies sponsor and plan a fan trip of some sort with NJT's blessing...I'm sure it wont be cheap. Other then that there is a chance it could be on the Bay Head Shuttle at some point as the 4100 or 4101 was down there once in the past few years, but don't hold your breath.
