Fan Railer Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share #2 Posted June 3, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hY6yxmOlzH0 Taken 6/2/10. ALP-46A 4629 doubleheaded (MUed) with MAN, the propulsion totally caught me off guard (It kind of resembles the tri-tone ALSTOM propulsion found on the R160's in the city). Also, you can't see it, but apparently Siemens had a hand in the truck design, since Bomb/SIE was on the truck plate. And the double loco acceleration, GREAT!! In addition to the 46A IGBT propulsion, you can hear the GTO based propulsion on ALP-46 4601. If you listen carefully, you can hear the phase change toward the end of the video. NOTE: sorry about the talking, I usually don't say anything in my vids, but I decided to make the exception here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo M 201 Posted June 3, 2010 Share #3 Posted June 3, 2010 Hey, I got a video of it too! Caught it also on M&E Train 665 departing Newark Broad Street. I think you have a better video of the takeoff though because you were able to pick up the spund from the trucks better (and plus I didn't face the loco at first). The propulsion sounds is the ULTIMATE!! Definitely my new favorite electric locomotives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan Railer Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share #6 Posted June 3, 2010 oh, and if you want to catch this loco, then here's the operating schedule, every wednesday and friday. cruiser939 wrote:The first ALP-46a will enter revenue service tomorrow (6/2). Look for the 4629 to be double-headed (or MU'ed for you Newark guys) with another engine and outfit on trains 602, 303, 306, 261, 254, and 665.

Fan Railer Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share #11 Posted June 3, 2010 DANG!!! I Love the SIEMENS ES64U2! too bad they don't make the variant anymore, and the sound's only like that since it uses GTO instead of IGBT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo M 201 Posted June 4, 2010 Share #14 Posted June 4, 2010 Are those the new disel/catenary operated locomotives? No. Those are the ALP-45DPs you're thinking about. NJT is not even due for one til next year. The ALP-46As are more powerful versions of the ALP-46s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
