Hello Everyone,

 

I have seen this train before in Hoboken. Its called the Aqua Track.

Does anyone have photos of this train in action. I know what its used for. Every time I see this train there is always a GP40FH-2 locomotive hooked up to it.

What does this train do Eric? Something to do with water I'm guessing.

Here is an article about it that was in the October 2007 issue of NJT's FYI:

I've seen it a few times at Hoboken and once at Newark Broad Street to go where the leaves really fall hard.

Hello,

 

Every time I have seen the Aqua Track. A GP40FH-2 locomotive pulls it. NJ Transit has had the Aqua Track train for a couple of years now I believe. I could be wrong though.

You're right. NJT has been using it since '03. I didn't first see it until '05 or so though.

I never even knew that the Aqua track existed at all. Sounds like a really good idea....according to the article, it certainly has accomplished its purpose.
