Now some people think that they're James Bond when it comes to trains

MARC does NOT need more equipment-they have plenty, and they're getting over fifty Multilevel IIs piggybacked onto NJT's order. MARC isn't going to be running any weekend service until they have money and CSX stops caring about providing lousy freight service and not allowing its railroad to be use...

NJT doesn't actually own any more Comet 1s I don't think - each one I believe has been sold. The only ones left on the property are the 11 or so that were in Raritan for a while that came back from Canada. They were last I knew down in Winslow Junction being held for the SRNJ. On that classified ad...

Sorry for a bump but why does transit keep scrapping the Comet Is? It seems like more than half the fleet of cab cars have been scrapped. Soon they will turn into the U34CHs. They will keep getting scrapped and eventually we will be down to two or less. As for the coaches, I don't know what is going...

I though I-78 severed a section of the line.

Wow, that pilot has skill. :) That reminds me of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZJm3ezzWOQ (look there's even a fence! ;) ) Always wanted to do some "Airfanning" there once NJT turns into just 45s and MLs So never? NJT's fleet will most likely never become just 45's and ML's. True ...

Now I believe Conrail offered to sell NJT the cut off back in 1983(according to Wikipedia) Pretty sure Transit wished they bought it back then.

I thought they fenced it off because of 747s taking off from Teterboro

As of yesterday, the M&E passenger car "Morris County" is in the shop getting a new kitchen and bathrooms and a few other upgrades. Stay tuned!

Also, how much bigger is Morrisville Yard to MMC or are they the same or vice versa?

Any sightings of freights or new locomotives?

Not to steer this thread too far off topic, but I'd like to get a railroader critique of an idea I've heard batted around lately: in the event of a storm related system-wide shutdown, what would be the downside of turning the center track of a relatively tree-free stretch of elevated multi-track ri...

Hello all, I was looking through rrpicturearchives and stumbled upon a picture of a string of Comet Is about 10 cars long parked on a passing siding at Winslow Jct. Here is what I'd like to know 1. Who owns these cars? 2. Did these come from AMT? 3. Were these cars scrapped? Another note, I did not ...
