[gregg227]

i love the new cars.....we finally got the on the Raritan Valley Line, woot woot

[NJTCOMET]

Whats that thing around the center of the car

[NJTrainSET]

Foam for clearance testing. The cars were loaded with sensors to see if any impacts or strikes happend along the way.

[NJTCOMET]

Oh i see

[PeterLydenIV]

I actually meant from Long Branch to Bay Head. No i know they're been operated from Long Branch to NYC. I've ridden on them dozens of times.

[87STEELE]

nice video. 5*

[horselovermc]

are they going on the bergen county line i need to know thanks

[NJTrainSET]

Im not the inner workings at NJT, i couldnt tell you

[g4tech]

who makes those they just seem to me a smaller more compact version of the Orginal Bi Level (Go transit ones)

[NJTrainSET]

Same manufacture that makes the continuing model of the Go transit cars. Bombardier.

[g4tech]

i like the GO Bi Level very nice interior i will be adding a vid i shot from looking out the back of a Cabcar

[ucvgabe]

I saw a bi-level at the Raritan Valley Line train yard in Raritan. It was parked in the engine house with a PL42 at the end. Right now all you can see is the front of the PL42 but i remember it being out further

[ucvgabe]

I snook around the back of the train yard and saw a 6 car consist bi-level. The raritan yard. So they will have em.

[trainzrok]

SOunds like Cabcar #7000

[NJTrainSET]

Actually that was the 7001. the 7500 was behind it, and I dont remember what the rest of the coaches were. I only have photographs of the first two.

[sarginto]

what engine did that train have

[NJTrainSET]

PL42AC as seen in the other video of mine.

[sarginto3]

didnt know they had PL42AC's on the NJCL.

[NJTrainSET]

Only for the test train they used the PL. They use it for its DTN capabilities. DTN is the diagnostic trainline network which the older locomotives do not have.

[PeterLydenIV]

They're not operating them on the NJCL yet. Hopefully sometime soon though.

[free2rtmey]

yea but when i meant when they first came into service i meant AEM-7's

[free2rtmey]

the NJT bi-levels dont blow their horns to often either do they. Back when they first came into service they did do to the eliminated crossings but they blow them more past new haven

[ucvgabe]

They have the same horns as Comet IV Cabcars

[TrainiacProductions]

yeah that's a nice k5la

[ucvgabe]

agreed. I love that horn

[trainzrok]

They most certainly sound NOTHING like Comet IVs, If anything comet Vs, They sound good but they are out of tune, come IVs have reversed chimes, these are foward.

[free2rtmey]

im obsessed with them and there bells. also love there K5LA horns

[alx2925]

yes i am, they're really nice engines

[alx2925]

this bell sounds exactly like the AEM7, what kinda bell is this?

[NJTrainSET]

it is an electronic bell VS being the normal pnumatic bell.
