Great views from a fresh location. I would like to railfan there from Ohio. Looks like you filmed from a parking deck and got great views. Did anyone hassle you about filming from that deck? Can you park and film from there? Thanks so much!
@ajp31 Жыл бұрын
The parking garage in Harrison is a popular railfanning spot. To be extra safe, we actually used the garage for our car during our trip, so we had "rights" to be there. That said, the three times we've used it (once in 2019, twice this summer), each for several hours, we've never been bothered.

Thank you for the unintended side-by-side comparisons with PATH! 9:21 | 25:58 | 30:02 | 32:14 | 40:17 | 43:13 As you can tell, PATH is not a part of the US Railway Network. Because of this, PATH trains do not share trackage with NJT & Amtrak. Only roadbed and/or stations are shared -- such as at Hoboken, Harrison and Newark Penn.

How do you track the trains and more specifically, How do you track the New Jersey Transit deadheads?
@ajp31 Жыл бұрын
Primary source is the NJT employee timetables (a good Google search will find them), which includes the deadheads. NJT Multilevels usually display the train number, and the Comets at least show destinations. I also use TransitDocs to verify the Amtrak trains (very useful since they archive data so you can access it weeks later), and if I'm on the ball, I'll screenshot DepartureVision screens from Newark Penn (accessible on the NJT app) while I'm shooting. Then it's just logic and sorting things out--if I'm unsure of a deadhead, I can often confirm it when the same consist returns later as a revenue train that I know originated in a specific place.

I can see and smell the original interiors on those Comet II’s…some with white tile floors and brown fixed seats, most with brown carpeted floors with orange/brown flippable seats. The new (Comet IIM) interiors are now as old as those were and it shows. They might even be holding up worse.

That summer marked the midpoint of my high school years, and I took the Raritan Valley line and then PATH to school most days. Seeing those pre-overhaul Comet IIs, I can still see the orange-and-brown seats, the carpeted aisles, and the woodgrain wall panels. I always took the mismatched sets of Comet II's and IBs we got on the RVL to mean we were unloved compared to the other two lines of the Newark division, which got full sets of either Comet IIIs or IVs for their push-pull trains, and of course had the Arrow IIIs that I was so jealous of. I know everybody (except me) hates them now but having grown up along a diesel-only line they were very impressive to me when I was a kid.
@ajp312 жыл бұрын
I had just graduated from college. I grew up along the NEC, so the roar of the RVL diesels was the novelty for me, compared to the usual parade of Arrows and AEM-7s. It was, I'll admit, always a treat when one of those Comet III or IV trainsets showed up inbound from Edison, but the Arrows were (and are) my favorite, too!
