  • We start our tour in Hoboken, where we capture a couple of specially painted locomotives. We move onto Secaucus, where we see all kinds of interesting action and perspectives, as well as locomotives roaring leaving the station. You will see a double headed train of MN F40PH-3C’s observed by the French Onion Soup Engineer.  You will also hear the accelerating roar of diesels as they pull out west of the station including some impressive sounding EMD CLASSICS!!!  We head upstairs to observe the electric action on New Jersey Transit/Amtrak. Here we also see a couple of specially painted locomotives.  We close the video with of a couple of servings of Irish Stew 😀😀😀😀☘️☘️☘️☘️

    Awesome video! That diesel show near the end was incredible. Surprised to see the NJT F40PH, thought they were retired. Used to see them on the AC line ages ago. I need to get out more.

    Too bad you didn't catch that double-header as it came in on train 58... With a whole other train behind it. It was almost like the two F40's were DPU'S, plus there was a Geep on the hind end. Quite the sight 😏

    Anything that NJT has is better than SEPTA. Don't get me wrong SEPTA has some good equipment but SEPTA does not really take care of what they have.

    Quick question, why are Montclair trains out of Hoboken diesel power? Isn't the entire trip electrified? Thanks!

    • @3985uprr
      @3985uprr  6 місяців тому +1

      It is but they generally use them on the NY runs. Sometimes they run an electric but most of the trains from Hoboken go beyond to Boonton line points

    • @triphops3949

      There are a few MU sets that run to Great Notch. One particular one I know of is train 267/262. There's a couple in the morning as well. On weekends, the Bay Street shuttle is usually run with an MU set.

    • @3985uprr
      @3985uprr  6 місяців тому +1

      They can only run the MU’s in/out of Hoboken. They can’t change voltages to go to NY. They run a couple of MU’s to Dover to/from Hoboken in rush hours.
