Re: AEM-7/ALP-44 status

CNJ and Everyone - To me this is a shame that these 8 motors could have had more life outside SEPTA and been sold to another company (MBTA, MARC, Caltrain, GO Transit come to mind) for a fraction of the cost of new motors...From the videos posted of the scrap move all eight motors look to be in rea...

NJ Transit would never allow Cape May Seashore Lines to operate along the Atlantic City Line. You can start with the need for Positive Train Control, and go from there. The City of Cape May has been "inaccessible" to rail traffic (other than the occasional speeder) for close to 10 years no...

Not the greatest shots due to the interference of the overhead catenary; here is a pair of photos taken this morning (2/6) of the AEM-7/ALP-44 "deadline" at Septa's Overbrook Maintenance Facility. Six of the seven AEM-7's and the sole ALP-44 are stored just west of the 59th Street overpass...

Back home to the URHS. They were on lease by CMSL.

I pass by the interlocking tower every day to and from work. This morning, I stopped by for a few photos. Although still standing, the tower has been severely damaged. I am not aware of the cause of the fire. Built in 1896, SHORE Tower is the oldest, still extant tower along the mainline from Washin...

Thanks, Ben. What about the excursions that used to run outside of Cape May? I don't see anything scheduled on the railroads website. Cape May Seashore Lines' website is hit or miss. They may have more info on their Facebook page. It appears that CMSL's next planned excursion will take place during...

Tourism is doing well in Cape May and at the nearby beaches, so I'm surprised that there are no regularly scheduled passenger excursions this summer. Been almost 10 years since a train rolled into Cape May. Track vandalism, a lack of upkeep and any kind of maintenance along the line, plus anyone's ...

Google Earth seems to indicate that all of the old rolling stock has been removed from the siding on the former CNJ at Winslow Junction. Can anyone confirm if this is the case? If so, was it all scrapped in situ or hauled away? It would appear that the Northeastern style caboose on the outboard tra...

Are the trains still serviced in AC (fueled/inspected/etc)?
Are they still sent to the MMC for "heavier" maintenance via 30th Street?
Correct

If you were going to "short turn" a revenue equipment set in NJ (never mind why you would want to do that for now) where could it lay over without affecting normal operations? Is there a spot at Cherry Hill? (I think so based on videos I saw). Can the connecting track at Winslow Junction ...

@planespotting Nice pictures. Just curious. What do y’all think the future will bring for the Beesleys Point Secondary east of Tuckahoe? Is abandonment on the table? Can Seashore Lines do anything with this section? Bracdude, You seem like a very enthusiastic railfan, with high ambitions. That's a ...

Google Maps, and a bit of ingenuity....

The most difficult part was timing it when the trolleys weren't obstructed by parked cars.

I believe it is on an as needed basis. To drop off, or pick up cars for storage.
