4218

Saw that the other day with the 1005

Just happened to spot 4201 on a test train leading doubled up with 4202. Westbound through Newark Broad street. I also recieved some information that 4218 was in the shop getting new traction motors. Seems 4201 and 4218 arent quite done yet.

Will be happy to get 75-80 more miles out of them!

4218 has been dead for quite some time now. Since late 2011/Early 2012. Hope they fix it up well. I didn't exactly find it to be a "good" unit.

Cool, but what did the people who actually worked on it think?

Dont recall ever having a problem with it when I ran it. That was 5 years ago though.

Sometime in the last two weeks the string between Garwood and Cranford was broken apart. The locomotives and the Comet coach were pulled to the siding closer to Westfield to get them out of the way and a bunch of the Arrows were taken away. There are only 12 Arrows left in that string and 16 under the GSP.

IIRC at least the #4107 and #4111 are still out there, probably with a couple F40s. Thats Sullys area though im sure next time hes through hell fill us in

All the arrows left there have been pillaged by copper thieves and supposedly are being scrapped on site. The rest I think were also hauled away for scrapping.

The MU numbers keep dropping. the trend of stored trains in NYP has shifted in the last week from MUs to MLVs or EPP sets. The end is drawing near for these cars.

Based on the NERail photographic evidence, the thieves helped themselves to the number boards from the F40's a long time ago.

Speaking of Arrows, I saw a set of 6 or 8 of them parked on the spur track off of QUEEN interlocking today. Were these separated from a Garwood set, or are they the latest batch of bad actors?

Most of Corridor service these days is push-pull (mainly Multilevels). Gladstone seems to be the last stronghold for the Arrows.

The arrows were moved to another location for safety reasons.

How many arrows are left?
