GP-40 #4202 working down here now. Saw it Monday night, Nov 6, working the shuttle.

4202 on tonight’s 2313. Also, the Aqua Train went to Bay Head last night with 4109; it will probably spray the upper NJCL tonight.

PTC test train going to Bay Head; they are currently behind 3283

[NJT4149]

Aqua Train arrived in Bay Head soon after the PTC train left. 4109 will lead the Aqua Train east; they will follow 4398

Is the Aqua Train a steam-spitting machine followed by two tank cars and 4102 pushing LHF? Saw that last night westbound through Bradley Beach about 10:45 pm.

Yes, that is the Aqua Train, though I do have one correction: the unit pushing is 4109; the 4102 is currently on the Hoboken Division.

Comet V 6000 is currently paired with 4515 as I saw them on 2303 Wed.

Saw Geep 40 #4302 running light LHF eastbound through Bradley Beach at 2 am this morning. Unique horn.

Just caught the two F40PH-2CATs with gravel cars between Perth Amboy and Woodbridge on the southbound line.

What is the test train?

[trainster78]

There are a few 6500 series coaches running on the line today for the first time in a while. These will probably only show on NYP-LB services so it's a good opportunity to see them.

[Zuccaraillo]

There is an Arrow III set working 3507+3508 today. Very rare on the Coast Line nowadays.

[trainster78]

That sure is, too bad I wasn't able to catch it. Probably not going out for any revenue trains unless a GP40 comes down or something being I'm headed to Secaucus Junction this weekend to hopefully catch some Ex-CNJ GP40PH-2s before they are gone from the revenue roster forever.

[NJT4149]

Saw the MM-08 last night in Bradley Beach. They had 4508, 4031, 5024, ML coach, and 4302. Pretty sure the 4031 replaced 4005, which broke down yesterday morning.

[NJT4149]

Also if anybody cares, the 4515 has an unrestricted K5LA, which is fitting considering that it is still paired with 6000.
