The shut down can be easily solved. Turn over the Atlantic City line to the Cape May Seashore Line. The number of "excursion" trips could exceed regular trips. The icing on the cake would be to see the RDCs return to Philadelphia. Although there would likely be hundreds of issues to be re...

No way the Unions would allow crews from other railroads to qualify portions of NJT?? You think if the situation is that dire (and it is), and they needed 40-50 more engineers that you couldnt find extra Amtrak or SEPTA crew to work other assignments in South Jersey.? The whole thing really is a dis...

Google maps still shows it backed with chemical cars. Don't know how old the satalite views are though. Geese they built a housing subdivision right up to the plant! People's back yards are literally touching the plant. Most likely more then a year old... I live literally 500 feet from the facility...

I'm more interested in how it says that they'll be used only on the following lines: Paoli/Thorndale Media/Elwyn Wilmington/Newark West Trenton EXCEPT for midday runs, where they'll apparently make some connecting trips across lines or "help Silverliner IVs." Do the IVs need help? Are the...

I have/had the Arrow IV spec here somewhere. The performance section in particular was an eye opener - Trenton to NY in roughly an hour, all stops. The rumor I heard was someone (CAF?) undercut Bombardier, and NJT didn't award as a result. So, are you saying that NJT has not signed anything regardi...

New Jersey Transit will not meet the December 31 deadline to have a crucial safety system known as Positive Train Control up and running, Executive Director Kevin Corbett told NBC News 4 New York on Tuesday. Instead, the third-largest commuter railroad in the nation says it will need an extension o...

Does anyone know how much longer the 4 P32's will be in the McGinnis esque NH Paint?? They will be the last engines that even resemble it soon.

This explains a few things and adds color to this situation: https://www.stb.gov/filings/all.nsf/ba7f93537688b8e5852573210004b318/4f1f31351e4a7cd98525828a003d2801/$FILE/245700.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; NYGL is attempting to fight the sale/abandonment. I'm no lawye...

Will be interesting seeing the new "X marks the spot" distasteful CTDOT scheme slapped onto the rebuilt P40's.. At least I'm assuming they will eventually get it?

Interesting... There are 12 of those correct? I wonder if LIRR and or NJT would even be aware of the fact that another 12 would be available if need be, since they are still short?

I'm taking that train in July and noticed the same thing, re: the long transfer in Albany. At least there's a nice bar right nearby. There is also the option of taking the new CT Hartford line to Springfield, which gets there at 1:05 pm, but then with that you have 2 transfers and another 2 hour or...
