Did those ever do PJ runs before they were repainted as NJT, or did they stay on the NEC and Midtown Direct?How many years ago did this occur? I wasn't a railfan yet at the time. I know 5009 and 5010 are repainted cabs (formely MN) but did NJT also acquire former MN C3 trailers and repaint them too? Or did MN keep the Comet III trailers for themselves?
EDIT: And I know MN was also supposed to get two Comet IV cabs but NJT got them too. Was MN supposed to get any Comet IV trailers originally?
All of this trading and renumbering is confusing! 5009 and 5010 were originally Comet IVs for MTA but then were renumbered as 5030 and 5031 for NJT so that the former MN Comet III cabs could be slotted in the 5009 and 5010 slots. Whew!
