Two Commuter Trains at Garfield, NJ

A pair of Commuter trains run through Garfield NJ 7/30/1997. Note that NJTransit has yet to completely sanitize the right of way as an old Erie concrete T-Booth is visable on the far right of the frame when I videoed the eastbound.

@SUBWAY125 I know, but they're the closest thing to the original Comet IIs. Both have thin black bands stretching from one door to the other (with the disco stripes pointing to each door). They remind me of the Comet IIs I used to see. Comet IIMs of today have a thicker black band stretching from one door to the other and the disco stripes are embedded within them. Damn NJ Transit! Why couldn't they leave the old trains alone?!

@Dac719 Thats not a Comet II in the back, its a Comet 1.

What street crossing are you nearest to?

It was nearly equal between the Is and IIs (155 v 166). The Comet Is only ran on the Hoboken Division because most were still low-doors. The high-door rebuilds don't have traps for the low-level platforms.

I miss the old Comet IIs NJ Transit had before they got rebuilt as Comet IIMs.

Was the majority of the fleet COMET I cars?

In my vid called "The Streets" I managed to film a train in Garfield, NJ...thought you might want to check it out. Take care.

The ditch lights on 4135 look like a right turn signal.

The MN WOH Comet IIs were rebuilt for use with the EOH Fleet.
