Hello Everyone,

 

I found this article in my local newspaper and I wanted to share it.

 

Here is the link.

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.

I doubt NJT wanted to replace locos like the ALP-44s. Those things are great. Grew up with those.

OMG!!! The 44 are still gonna live. Hmm. I think I could imagine a rebuild ALP-44 or as a rumor says, ALP-44R.

Possibly.

 

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!

They don't look so bad on the buses. Maybe on a locomotive its a different story.

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.

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.

Its not on trains, but on buses yes.

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.

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?

Uh oh. Won't be long then. Hopefully they keep the scheme and with that ALP-44 thats about to get painted just get it back and all fresh. Lets see if the rumor about the ALP-44 getting the Warrington Wave is true.
