NJT ACRL out between 30th Street & Pennsauken Transit Center. Buses may have been ordered, but I'd stick with PATCO for the time being.

Might be no service tomorrow or for the rest of the week on the CHW and TRE Lines according to Channel 6/17 (PHL channels).

I was on a Long-Branch-NY morning train the other day, which had six MLVs and an ALP46 pushing. The engineer had the front vestibule open, and I took advantage of it until a lady collector closed it. But when the engineer pegged the throttle, you could feel the surge as the ALP shoved from behind -...

It was posted around here several years ago when NJT wanted to go all loco hauled and no emu because the arrows inspection cycle is like a locomotive at 30 days (I think) and unpowered cars have a 90 day inspection cycle (I think, again). I guess the question is how much does it cost to do an inspe...

As an outsider, I've always found the Gladstone to be interesting. Can't really put my finger on why, it just is. But are there any plans for it? I don't necessarily mean expansion plans as I understand the neighbors would start World War 3, 4 and maybe 5 over extending the tracks past Gladstone, b...

Remember, NJT wants to get as many people off their services as much as possible so they can shut the whole thing down.

I think they were pulled from passenger service when the first batch of ALP44s arrived. They spend most of the 1990s stored on the General Box siding in Denville.

There's already a program for reduced fares for the elderly and disabled, including coupon books for some transportation modes. Discounts based on financial need could presumably work the same way. Some government and non-government organizations already ask to see your most recent year's tax retur...

This sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen. I wonder if CT is still upset with MN about two of "their cars" being in the consist of the train that derailed at DV among other incidents involving CDOT equipment. If CT still wants another operator, there's really only one choice that MN m...

TAN Chatsworth, Calif. reaction The Metrolink train at Chatsworth in 2008 had a Diesel locomotive leading. After the crash, it was found telescoped inside the 1st passenger car that it had been pulling. There have been fires after Diesel train accidents that were not at grade crossings, or in 3rd r...

NJT continues discouraging transit ridership using any means they can.

It's not always an ALP45-DP. There are days when a GP40 or PL42 is assigned to the equipment rotation.

All state run commuter operations have trademarked their logos,while not mean about (CSX + UP saw $$$$) they are protective of the "Brand". NY's MTA understood the History behind their various operations,and has treated the hobby fairly decently. Athearn had agreements with TRE,Metrolink,...

Reading through some of the other documents on that site. I found comments relating to the Empire Builder being the only mode of transportation in some areas along the route during the winter when the highways and airports were closed due to snow.

The Amtrak report, linked earlier, pictured a lot of concrete lining inside the metal tubes. It also disclosed that 2 of the East River tubes, used by Empire Service trains to get to Sunnyside Yard and loop, were flooded and need rehabilitation. Ah, so thats where people got mixed up with the empir...
