Mod Note- jp1822... Enough with the backseat railroading. Its not going to get you very far arguing with ThirdRail or our other railroaders whatsoever. Do yourself a favor and drop it. A discussion forum where discussion is not allowed? What is the point then? Chiming in. Obviously, non-employee ra...
We had a ongoing bone to pick with mechanical, in the mid nineties, over the mixing of C2s,3s and 4s in the same consist. If the engineer wasn't a careful train handler the deceleration under heavy braking was violent as each type car had it's own mind. The condition was most pronounced when a ALP-...
Yeah, it's hard to say what is eactly happening on that Dundee Spur. But yes, probably for the NYGL.
So the app is quirky. I have had crazier things happen...such as when service is suspended for some reason, the app still merrily updates as if the train is running. I've seen a bizarre situation where the app showed "in 2 min" for a train that was behind another train that had broken dow...
I hear what all of you are saying, and you're all making valid points. I have to agree though that getting service west of Andover will be difficult. The government in this case will probably not take the "Field of Dreams" approach, that is, "if you build it, they will come." To ...
But if the Comet 1s ran in mixed consists with low door and high door cars, were there separate door commands for the low cars and the high cars? Comet Is did run in mixed consists. They ran with the non-long door equipment which consisted of high door Comet Is, low door Comet Is, and Comet IBs... ...
the alp 44s are not for sale at this time as there is no listing on NJT Procurement site for auction,this is the site where they would be listed Thanks, we'll wait and see what happens to them. In my opinion, NJT is holding onto them for now for back-up. For instance, the ALP44s would come in handy...
Very cool, thanks for sharing! I didn't realize that any of them were fully built by Vossloh overseas. I'm not sure who the photographer is, but I hear he's not a nice guy. http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=119630&nseq=3 Yeah, I've also heard he can kinda be a jerk. He also needs to ...
Prior to the IIM rebuild, I-Bs (Comarrows) were often mixed with II/IIB equipment, particularly on the RVL and Coast Line and occasionally on the Hoboken DIvision. The IIM rebuild program segregated the I and I-B equipment to Hoboken Division diesel service (where they ran mixed) until 2007-09, whe...
I haven't noticed those issues, but I might use it a bit different. What I do is I click on the train in question and it shows you what stations the train has "DEPARTED" from. From that, it gives me a realistic time of how long it will be. As for the departure times, I don't use that as mu...
Neat photos! Cool to see. The units sure look different without their markings. Thanks for sharing. If memory serves, there was a rush to build the car bodies of these units and assemble them on their trucks as if they weren't built in time, the units would have to conform to higher tier standards. ...
Correction, I stopped by Murray Hill today to look at the siding. From the looks of it, I don't think it would handle a 8 car cars and an engine. You could definitely put six cars and an engine there, but for more than that, you'd probably need to do saw-bys.
NJDOT press release regarding state agencies and plans. Only buses that are registered with the World Meeting of Families will be allowed to park in the limited spaces available in Philadelphia and Camden. This influx of vehicles combined with the closing of the Ben Franklin Bridge into Philadelphi...
In the news: Tap Into Roxbury Wetlands Regs Stall Roxbury to Andover Train Plan ROXBURY, NJ – The restoration of passenger train service on the historic Lackawanna Cutoff between Port Morris and Andover is unlikely to happen until late 2018, a year later than proponents expected. The delay is being...
