Spring fever on New Jersey Transit. Visiting South Orange and Hoboken Railroad Museum. 3/11/21

[@peterbeesley8904]

Superb video. South Orange is an architectural delight. Don't think the classic lineup at Hoboken can be bettered. Warms the heart

[@jeffg.8964]

Your narration is absolutely fantastic.

[@thomaswebster444]

Again an informative video, with spectacular photography and catchy music! Thank you!

[@anthonywarrener1881]

I have just been enjoying another look at your excellent video. I realise that you are a huge fan of EMD powered locos, and I too think very highly of them. You show glimpses of the wonderful (to me) NJT ALP45DPs, and I have ridden behind several of them which was really impressive. Whilst their two Caterpillar 3512C HD motors sound nothing like an EMD 645 unit, I understand they are produced by Progress Rail who now own the rights to the EMD name, and provide parts for EMD motors ? Due to the Pandemic I have sadly been unable to visit the States since 2019, but hope to do so early in 2022, and Hoboken will be high on my list of locations to visit ! Many thanks for your videos, and I hope you can include a ride with an ALP45DP soon !.

Awesome video! Hoboken is the best station in the country, no questions asked.

[@deepnation10009]

You are awesome. So informative. I especially love hearing about the old railroads. Keep up the good work!

[@anthonywarrener1881]

Thank you for a truly splendid video ! A agree with all that you say, and find Hoboken Terminal the very best place to watch passenger trains in the New York area. Whenever I am in New York I always cross the Hudson to Hoboken to watch and sometimes take a train on the line to Port Jervis. I guess you are delighted (like me !) that NJT has long since retired its fleet of G.E. U-boats, which were so prevalent in the 80s and 90s. The sound of EMD locos is superb, and I can never hear enough of them ! Many thanks indeed !

Great video Tim! I didn't think South Orange was that nice! Great shots today!

[@3985uprr]

I new about the nice station and firehouse

[@dougd120]

[@thereal1loudmerc335]

Hey, my home station, South Orange. You gotta couple of NJ Transit buses down those steps. 107X/107L to New York, 92 to Branch Brook Park. And the 31 (Coach USA) to Newark Penn Station.

[@kirkzevola5004]

Awesome NJ Transit & Metro North catches Tim if you love NJ Transit & Metro North you’ll love Metra their the King commuter railroad of classic EMDs you should take a trip out there one day soon because Metra will soon retire their F40PH-2s 150 - 172 once their SD70MACHS enter service

When I lived in Maplewood in the 60s, our house backed up to the tracks. When I was 15 or 16 I'd hop the fence and walk to South Orange. There was a storage yard for MU cars and a team track. Also the interlocking tower was active. There were a few freight customers so a local freight with a GP9 would be there sometimes. Once I got a caboose ride to Summit. Don't know how my mom put up with it, lol as people sometimes got killed on the tracks.

[@daf827]

Excellent video. Besides the fine camera work, your commentary is the best railfan narration I’ve seen on KZbin. Would enjoy video coverage of: Port Jervis line, including Moodna Viaduct and the CSX River Sub. Keep ‘em coming!

[@davidl6558]

These are great videos, but by around the last 5 minutes I'm expecting the final description to be along the lines of: "That's train 433, of Arrows, due out at 5:35...[bell starts clanging] and there it goes. That was supposed to be my ride home. I guess I'm sleeping here tonight."

[@MichaelN12]

I think that Gladstone train that had the dual mode and 3 Comet 5 coaches most likely came off a Port Jervis line run cuz those guys have 3 comet 5’s a lot.

[@javierreyes4803]

That's like with Metro North too when the train approaches to the platform with the horns on. I wonder when will the Lirr do theirs.

[@Ostermond]

And to think Communipaw terminal was just like this decades ago.

[@bryantarailfan]

Great one

[@mr.conductorfromsts4204]

I like the sound of the Hoboken Terminal with GP40’s and F40PH’s Head End Power Diesel Generator (Either Caterpillar/Cummins)

[@3985uprr]

I need earplugs in there

[@winstonpx]

7:05 how did you know that it would have arrow emus?

[@JTC2227]

[@metro-northrailroadproduct5043]

[@averyrizzolo9082]

The Arrows were actually built in the 70s.

[@bryantarailfan]
