So how exactly will these be used in conjunction with the tunnels? It is a shame they didn't have room for a second pantograph on the roof. That part of the design tells me the pantograph will largely be used between sunnyside and newark, and not much else.

Allow me to be the first to respond, HUH?

How does the design of the pantograph tell you anything about how the locomotives will be operated and furthermore, what exactly qualifies you to make such inferences?

Just make sure you provide NJT with the name of whomever will be driving you and provide an address for us to mail you your super dooper special junior NJT security badge. This is gonna be just totally so much fun kekekeke, coolz!

Plus, the crew has to be found at the Reeperbahn.

Believe me with todays ships, crews do not have much time to go ashore anymore, most ship dockings are less than 12 hours.
and crews are at minimum levels.

Any articles out there with the ship name listed? Can use AIS/APRS to check out what other stops they make. Yeah, I'm a ship nerd.
