The aem 7's and the alp 44's are similar. Except the alp-44 has the ditch lights near the couplers and they have different radiator grils on the side
-
what is the difference between the ALP 44 and the AEM7???
-
@NJTFan78 There is no difference. Most trains fitted with two pantographs normally run with the rear one operating so that if it breaks or snags on the wires (pretty rare) it will not damage the leading one by falling onto it or bringing down the wires on top of it. that way the train may still remain mobile.
Also, it was once thought that having the rear one raised provided better contact performance due to reduced aerodynamic interference. In reality there isn't much difference.

NJT can't run AEM7s because they don't own any AEM7s
-
ABB EMD? No they didn't, EMD built the original GP40 which was used for freight.
Besides isn't the locomotive in this video an ALP-44? (ALP-44M Technically)?
-
asea brown boveri emd is built the freight gp40 which njt uses to pull passenger cars and built and design are most likely the same thing.

Nevermind Mushroom3727. You're right the ALP-44M looks similar to the AEM7. But they're not the same thing.

The first 15 ALP-44 locomotives were built by ABB Traction of Sweden. However Bombardier Transportation took them over in the late 1990's.

whats the difference between both pantograph. why does engineers switch the pantograph up in push mode and the other pantograph in pull mode? if you understand my question
NJTFan78 3 years ago
My best guess is to prevent the pantograph from snapping at high speeds. I don't know personally the exact reason why NJ transit is so picky about pantograph operation on there electric locomotives.

Great video. Having the wrong pantograph up doesn't seem like it would be good for the wires or the engine...
Comwhiz2002 3 years ago
There are occasions when NJ Transit does that. Normally its because either the engineer forgets to change it or the other pantograph doesn't work.
