2308 had mechanical issues two days ago at Suburban Station, and was towed to Frazier(?) by 2307. Not sure of its current status.

Thanks for sharing! I wonder if they will hook it up to the bombers?

I just looked at all of the new ads, and I gotta say that I really like them. I think they are an improvement over the last few series of ads that Amtrak has released. They really showcase what the train has to offer, and they are not boring.

Is it likely that Bombardier will put in for this contract? I hope that SEPTA goes with the NJT/MARC cars, even if they are redesigned without bathrooms.

Approach, I had no idea the magnitude of signaling changes that are taking place in NJ. Thanks for clearing it up, that sounds like a really significant upgrade.

Well this is great news about the 915! Honestly, at this point it doesn't really matter if it was a good runner. We established that it will almost certainly be a static display, and if it ever does run again it will be babied for sure. It looks to be in pretty good cosmetic condition to me. I'm jus...

On a more serious note, where do you store an extra 45 coaches? Do they have extra storage capacity in the yards? I know Chestnut Hill East Yard and Fox Chase yard are empty at night, but is that a result of noise complaints? Trenton floods, so that's not feasible. Is there a location that can be e...

No, the 629 was involved in a separate incident. It had an incident with a vehicle on the tracks a few weeks prior to the 188 derailment.
