The train I saw was on the Montclair line on Wednesday, heading west from Montclair Heights. Diesel. But I saw one come into Newark Broad on diesel the other day too, and did not switch modes. I can't remember where it was going to/coming from.

Every 45 I've seen since has been on electric. Showed me.

It is my understanding that 4512 is back on the property. Keep your eyes peeled.

I have noticed that a lot of the 45's have been replaced with 42's on the RVL. I had a single seat ride on the RVL that got stopped at Newark last week due to "mechanical issues" and we had to transfer with our seat checks to the next inbound train.
Then again, yesterday I was able to catch the 1:47 from NYP and single seat ride home so it appears hit and miss.

I saw at least three the other day when I was out there. I also saw quite a few six-car sets. I guess they're drilling out the seventh car.
"It's not even a railroad anymore, it's a circus act."
The RVL has six-cars sets and only one seven-car set.
Why do we drive on parkways and park in driveways?

I'm sure Srock can expand upon my findings.
I want my road foreman!
I saw the 4524 in charge of a six car set earlier this afternoon.
