A while back I remember seeing a Septa silverliner in atlantic city!! I also remember seeing a new Septa comet cab on the south end of an ACL train! Does anyone have any info on why Septa cars would be on NJT property?? I also remember seeing a Septa Aem-7 pulling a NJT NEC train into N.Y.P If anyone has any pictures of NJT and septa equipment it would be greatly apreciated!!

Was it in March or April? It might have been on display in conjunction with the TransAction trade show.

Septa Silverliner IV 305 was in Atlantic City in mid-April for the TransAction transportation convention so that would explain the sighting there. As far as Septa equipment into NYP, Septa has run expresses to/from New York City in past years for the Philadelphia Flower Show and it is also common for Amtrak to grab (lease) any available commuter agency equipment during peak travel periods, especially over Thanksgiving weekends. During these periods, it is also not unusual to see MARC or additional NJT equipment laying over in 30th Street yard.

A few years back, I don't recall what time of year, but it may have been around Thanksgiving, I saw a full SEPTA push pull set making an early morning station stop at New Brunswick, NJ. This was the only time I've ever seen a push pull set up that far though.
