Eric Kreszl Posted November 20, 2007 Share #1 Posted November 20, 2007 Hello Everyone, I found this article in my local newspaper and I wanted to share it.

Harry Posted November 20, 2007 Share #2 Posted November 20, 2007 The 44s will live on. It would have been a shame to see them go. It also discusses the MOM a little. I guess the Freehold branch is a no go like I thought it would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo M 201 Posted November 20, 2007 Share #3 Posted November 20, 2007 I doubt NJT wanted to replace locos like the ALP-44s. Those things are great. Grew up with those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N-Trizzy2609 Posted November 24, 2007 Share #4 Posted November 24, 2007 OMG!!! The 44 are still gonna live. Hmm. I think I could imagine a rebuild ALP-44 or as a rumor says, ALP-44R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another rumor and this one has a high chance of happening, that the scheme would be the Warrington Wave. All I have to say about that is YUCK!

Its alright on the buses, especially on the MCIs. I don't mind it on the RTSs but I rather stick with the stripes on them. Good thing NJT isn't putting the Warrington Wave on all the RTS.

BMT4Life Posted November 26, 2007 Share #9 Posted November 26, 2007 I'm not too into train lingo but what in the world is the Warrington scheme. I don't think its train lingo but the name of the scheme itself. I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo M 201 Posted November 26, 2007 Share #10 Posted November 26, 2007 I'm not too into train lingo but what in the world is the Warrington scheme. Its not on trains, but on buses yes.

N-Trizzy2609 Posted November 27, 2007 Share #11 Posted November 27, 2007 Ahhhh! Dear god i hope they do mimic the scheme ALP-46's instead! Oh my god. I think there changing the NJT logo because the MARTA in Atlanta has a similar logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there changing the NJT logo because the MARTA in Atlanta has a similar logo. In my opinion the current ALP-44 paint job gives the observer and railroad photographer the classic 1990's NJ Transit appearance. It gives a little variety. By the way NJ Transit ALP-44 #4412 is at the Medowlands Maintenance Complex (MMC) with no stripes awaiting a new paint job. Who knows what it will look like when its repainted?

Lets see if the rumor about the ALP-44 getting the Warrington Wave is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
