Harry Posted December 1, 2007 Share #1 Posted December 1, 2007 I finally got to see my first multilevel train. A nine car mutilevel train pulled into Aberdeen-Matawan station being pulled by an ALP46. Now I know for sure they are running on the NJCL.

NewJerseyT Posted December 1, 2007 Share #8 Posted December 1, 2007 I think it would be pretty hard for the people to manouver between the cab car and the last multi-level car don't ya think:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share #11 Posted December 1, 2007 Also, I forgot to add, I spotted my first diesel train at Aberdeen-Matawan. All this during peak hours. There was trains pulling in every 6 minutes of so. A very busy station during these hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N-Trizzy2609 Posted December 1, 2007 Share #12 Posted December 1, 2007 Regardless it was very strange seeing a Comet V cab car with a few Bi-level coaches. They do do that on MBTA, MARC, and VRE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric It was great seeing all them trains pulling in so often. I'm usually out here on weekends but I actually made it on an early Friday night. I'm thinking about moving out here so this might be an everyday thing for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neat I went to a Marlboro school. I worried that NJ Transit will get into some hot water, I've seen Bi-Levels on the NEC and well those coaches look tipsy with speed.

jerseyemt Posted December 25, 2007 Share #23 Posted December 25, 2007 I think it would be pretty hard for the people to manouver between the cab car and the last multi-level car don't ya think:confused: The multilevels have three distinct levels. This is why they are named 'Multilevels' and not 'Bilevels'. The main seating areas towards the center of the car are above and below the 'normal' level on single-level cars. However, the ends of the car are at the same height as the single level cars, and you can pass from a multilevel car to a single-level car (or vice-versa) just as if you were passing between two single-level cars.

Great analysis and information as I never been in one before. Would you know the number of seats in the middle level of the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
