Interesting that those locomotive ran with one pan up. Normally, when they expect ice on the wire they put up both.

Okay, they haven't broken down as much lately as they used to. But I remember, back in February of 2008, the first PL42AC in revenue service on the Raritan Valley Line broke down because of computer problems. Also NJT could probably get away with 5 Comets on most trains in and out of Bay Head.

Interesting , whats there to do in Linden?

[@ecoRfan]

That's almost twice the train under normal circumstances. If money is tight, don't waste it.

What was the music playing?

@sfo1164 i will the next time lol screw driving unless i had an awd car

[@ecoRfan]

Yes, I don't want to see them scrapped either. I'm totally sick of NJT ML's. However, if NJ Transit wants to run Multilevels to Bay Head, they should at least have trains of LESS than 6 Cars. (6 ML=WAY too heavy, think 3-5 cars instead if at all).

[@Nexis4Jersey]

hehe, why where you out there? LOL

[@ecoRfan]

I'm sorry, but a 6-car train of overweight power-hungry Multilevels with an unreliable POS42 is nearly twice what any Bay Head-Hoboken train needs, especially on a day like THIS. In other words, a huge needless waste of fuel and money.
