NJT is running an enhanced holiday schedule tomorrow for the observed holiday. One thing that caught my eye was that they're running the two MidTOWN Direct Gladstone sets into and out of New York. 8404 and 8406 are the inbound sets and 8431 and 8433 are the outbound sets. The usual trains these sets operate on during weekdays are 6406 and 6410 inbound and 6431 and 6437 outbound. This is the first time I've noticed them operating Gladstone MidTOWN trains to/from NYC on a weekend/holiday.
For those that don't know, the first two digits of the train number indicate the line and type of service: 64 is Gladstone MidTOWN Direct on Weekdays and 84 is Gladstone MidTOWN Direct on Weekends/Holidays. The last two digits tell you two things: east or west direction (east trains are even numbers and west trains are odd numbers; ACL is North and South) and the order of the train relative to other trains on the same line according to the time of day. A train in the wee hours of the AM would have a low number: 01 (west) or 02 (east) or instance. A train in the late hours of the PM would have a high number pushing towards 99.
I'm wondering how crowded these trains will be.... or lacktherof to be more accurate. Most people will be off tomorrow and these trains usually have one with 8 Multilevels and and one with 9 Multilevels. As one last note, these trains are operating practically local with only skipping a stop or two each.
