Perhaps MN can buy some 2nd hand Comet IIR's or IV's from NJT once the new multi level EMUs are purchased.. Weren't they supposed to get additional ML coach order tacked on as well??

Dead beyond dead, you wont even see the MARC cars soon, as they are being sent back to the owner shortly. NJT can use more.... Especially with bathrooms.... Besides, the original plan was for 20, instead of the 10 they currently have.. Regardless, seems like Amtrak must have been too stupid not to ...

Doesn't matter, NJT is late in installing PTC so they are short of cars and engines... So if that's the case then you won't see any expanded summer service to the shore... Honestly, aside from seeing east end geeps for the railbuff, this whole PTC mandate by the gov't is one big fiasco which won't a...

By chance I caught GP40-2 CSX 6228 heading west at Mount Tabor today 5/22... I looked elsewhere and some have said it was for PTC testing to Denville... Could someone please explain to me why they borrowed a CSX engine for this when they could have used their own or a NS one?? Never seen a CSX engin...

Ill tell ya... Reading the document and hearing about this news really makes one want to slit their wrists or bang your head against a wall!! Only in NJ where all they seem to care about these days is building condos, apartments, retail and strip malls.. Nice place to live if you like traffic jams a...

As per the press release at http://www.njtransit.com/tm/tm_servlet.srv?hdnPageAction=PressReleaseTo&PRESS_RELEASE_ID=3207 trains are being eliminated to facilitate the installation of PTC. This looks very fishy to me. It is a service cut under the pretext of PTC installation. I find it hard to ...

Maybe, but they could be used on the Montclair/Boonton line! Then the poor folks going to NY who live in Mountain Lakes or Boonton wouldn't have to drive to Denville for a one seat ride!

So no truth to one rumor that 2 5-car sets would replace/free up existing equipment on the LB-Bay Head shuttle trains this Summer ? Well you would think 10 cars would be too much for the RVL platforms and the dual modes pulling in diesel mode, but with no cab cars and a geep on the east end its pro...

Good.

Keep hearing word that Amtrak is in the process of creating the nose hatches on their engines as we speak, or is this false?? If it's false then I guess every train will have to use the damn MARC cabs in the lead as advertised this summer.

. They certainly do not seem interested in extending any of the MSU runs to beyond MSU (or Dover) or eliminating the transfers at Long Branch for all trains to NYP. Sad but true! I had wish they did and had at least a few from Mt. Arlington, but the political pressure in Morris county was not as st...

And to be used on the RVL exclusively, probably on train 5445 or 5733.. MMC captive trains.

In Phil Collins "Take Me Home" video there is a 1/2 second shot of a U34CH leaving Hoboken with the NYC skyline in the background: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRY1NG1P_kw It's at 4:10 in the video - if you blink, you'll miss it! Yes looks like 4176 to the Rivet counters but who knows ...

Here is a shot of 4619 bringing the first ten MARC coaches north...taken at Edison a little after 12 noon: https://www.flickr.com/photos/erielimited/41101039774/ Nice shot. I think they are only getting 10 now cause there aren't any more available with Amtrak and LIRR are borrowing many as well... ...
