R44 5278 Posted May 4, 2009 Share #3 Posted May 4, 2009 Actually that's SEPTA's lonely ALP-44. It was actually a gift to repay the late delivery for the then-new fleet on the Norristown High Speed Line. SEPTA originally wanted an AEM7, but it was no longer in production so they gave a ALP-44 instead. But yes, the Comet Is were formerly owned by NJT.

kaback9 Posted May 5, 2009 Share #8 Posted May 5, 2009 All the Comet I's are retired. They last ran end of March. Some are heading to new owners the rest will most likely be scrapped at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaback9 Posted May 5, 2009 Share #14 Posted May 5, 2009 Then it was not the last set, the last set was 7 cars I believe and the F40. I'll get more when I talk to the conductor later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsfan Posted May 5, 2009 Share #15 Posted May 5, 2009 Mebe the one i saw was simply being moved out of the way before being taken to mmc? It was on track 18. Weird in any case. I think i got photos of it, if i do i'll post. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsfan Posted May 5, 2009 Share #16 Posted May 5, 2009 Interesting, as there also seems to be a multilevel consist behind the comets. There were more than just 4 cars, and i could not see the loco, but i know it was diesel. The MNRR unit was off. These photos were taken from the HBLR platform. If it had not been in a hurry to go i would have investigated further. The photos date from march 25, a wednesday. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaback9 Posted May 6, 2009 Share #19 Posted May 6, 2009 The Multilevel set is used on the RVL early in the morning then becomes a train to Waldwick during the day. The last Comet I set was 4114 and 7 CI's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsfan Posted May 6, 2009 Share #20 Posted May 6, 2009 The back looks like a cat, what do you think? Could they have simply moved these 4/5 out of the way? I've tried to remember what loco this was, because i'm pretty sure i was on the next platform over...... All my visits to hoboken kinda blend together, aside from one where i photographed an old certain rebuilt CR clunker which makes runs to bay head... :cool: - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
