Interesting. The train door closes when the Conductor closes the trap to the stairs.

Where are those new double deckers?

[@JLJ061]

@Nexis4Jersey Enjoy them while you can, the railroad is currently in the process of replacing the old catenary with the constant-tension type.

[@Nexis4Jersey]

I like how the still use Wooden Catenary , thats pretty rare these days.

[@JLJ061]

@jjaagg5050 Right now only one set is being used, due to auxiliary power issues. As far as I know it is being used on Trains 116 and 111.

[@JLJ061]

@Nexis4Jersey They're now using a European single-bracket design. Right now they have it as far east as Ogden Dunes, and should be through to Michigan City by this fall.

That kind of the sounds like the highliners horn

[@jjaagg5050]

@JLJ061 I do remember reading in the paper that they were having those power issues. So they haven't resolved them yet? I hope they can figure it out.

Any replacement cars would most likely be the Hyundai - Rotem Silverliners Vs used by SEPTA in their heavy duty electric railroads.

That's the Dune Park station I remember. I hate the new high level platform built there. In places like Hegewisch, it's not a big deal but Dune Park it just looks bad!

[@MPIEMDRailfan4]

Agreed.

[@Nexis4Jersey]

@JLJ061 oh well , i hope they replace them with something unique.
