To bad there is not that much ridership on the line yet to really make a big impact(come May that changes)...I bet this is one of the reasons though there has been so much MOW equipment in the area.

Amtrak has been working on the section of the NEC where the :njc: connects also.

That means we may see 4202 venture out of Long Branch that or a 4300 series is coming down, hopefully the elusive one 4301.
