Eric Kreszl Posted November 24, 2007 Share #1 Posted November 24, 2007 Hello Everyone, I found this photo on the internet of one of NJ Transit's new switchers. http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=960451 The locomotive is designated as a MP20GP.

Harry Posted November 24, 2007 Share #6 Posted November 24, 2007 Looks pretty good. What's with the new orange stripe going across the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Kreszl Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share #7 Posted November 24, 2007 Looks pretty good. What's with the new orange stripe going across the hood. That might just be part of the paint job. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebbieprops Posted November 25, 2007 Share #8 Posted November 25, 2007 Looks good. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo M 201 Posted November 25, 2007 Share #9 Posted November 25, 2007 Looks alright. At least they didn't go with the Warrington Wave. But, that orange paint on the railing on the side of the loco just doesn't look good. I'll keep an eye out for it, especially in Hoboken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Kreszl Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share #10 Posted November 26, 2007 Hello Everyone, I think its time for me to offer my personal opinion about this locomotive. The locomotive looks similar in appearance to Amtrak's GP38H-3 rebuild locomotives which are also a Wabtec product. I love the new paint job. I can tell you right now that by that photo NJ Transit engineers are going to not like running these locomotives long-hood Forward. NJ Transit SW1500 #502 has much more visibility than that thing does. That's just my personal opinion of course and if anyone agrees or disagrees with me feel free to comment.

N-Trizzy2609 Posted November 28, 2007 Share #11 Posted November 28, 2007 OMG! That's the ish! I love the new paint scheme and hopefully they will use it on the rebuilt GP-40's and ALP-44's. For some reason though, that doesn't feel like a switcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
