A NJ Transit GP40PH-2B #4212 towing a DEAD NJ Transit ALP-44 down the NJCL westbound down to Long Branch. Here are the photos Enjoy, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted August 20, 2007 Share #2 Posted August 20, 2007 Great pictures. What happened to that 44? I was waiting on a diesel to go through Matawan today but it never happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Kreszl Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share #3 Posted August 20, 2007 Great pictures. What happened to that 44? I was waiting on a diesel to go through Matawan today but it never happened. Surprisingly about 15 to 20 minutes later not only did 4417 come back it had 4212 behind him and a comet III Coach behind him. By the way 4417 was pulling the train. I did not get photos of it though unfortuniately. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo M 201 Posted August 20, 2007 Share #5 Posted August 20, 2007 I was waiting on a diesel to go through Matawan today but it never happened. Well, no diesel trains north of Long Branch on weekends. I think its rare to see a diesel run up to NY on a weekend on the NJCL in service however.

Eric Kreszl Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share #7 Posted August 20, 2007 That's exactly what I was waiting for that one rare occasion when it did. The ONLY NJCL diesel trains are the X Trains X232 and X233. Here are the times for the train. X233 After 2:30 PM at Matawan. X232 Before 11:00 AM at Matawan. Some notices about these trains 1. X Trains are schedueled trains that DO NOT CARRY PASSENGERS! When they come they fly through so be ready to get a grab shot if you want a photo of the train. 2. I have seen from personal experience that Train X233 has come EARLIER THAN NORMAL DEPENDING ON HOW BUSY THE MMC IS WITH FUELING THE TRAINS.
