to downtown NJ or grand central?

Nice train. Too bad they suspended it for the season. Maybe they should hand over ownership to NJT.

Nothing actually. A P40DC is what Amtrak and GE call them. However, the first line of P40DCs that were produced were listed as P40BHs on their builder plates. NJT got 4 of the original P40BHs.

@NJT4111 what is the difference between bh and dc?

The ACES train uses an AEM-7 electric locomotive because it travels from Atlantic City to NY Penn Station via the NE Corridor. Diesel locomotives are not permitted to operate in the Hudson Tunnel and must be shut down. Once the train crosses into Philadelphia at Shore Tower, the electric loco takes over for the remainder of the trip.

that was great

@BNSF7508 This train has to change ends when it gets to Amtrak territory. Unlike the Atlantic City trains, Aces trains don't run into Philadelphia, only New York. They could just use a cab car, but I think the electric loco is a better performer than the P40.

Question: Why is there a P40 loco pulling while an electric loco is on the back?
-
Nice. Cool Doppler.
very cool, btw, NJT regesters the P40s at P40BHs, no DCs
