A few years ago we had a few different topics to track unique cars. However, all of those cars are retired at this point. Now that SEPTA's ALP-44 is the only remaining one in the country I thought it might be fun to track this unit. Post your sightings here along with the Line and the Train # if you know it.

I'm pretty sure I saw it in Trenton a few days ago.
I want my road foreman!
This winter needs to be over.......NOW!
Haven't seen it since last week. Probably in the shop.

According to today's equipment allocation sheet 2308 is at Frazer shop. No reason given.

I know I saw 2308 on an afternoon run at Jefferson Market East a few weeks ago but I failed to mentally note what train it was on.
I think this is very interesting. Besides having the only running ALP-44, SEPTA will soon be the last stand for AEM-7s as well.
