NJT alp-46 and SEPTA train.

NJ transit alp-46 at the back of a 12 car multi-level express from NYP sitting on track 4. On the layup track there's what looks like an AEM-7 or ALP-44 hooked to a comet push-pull consist.

2308 is in fact an ALP-44! AEM-7's are 2301-7! There is a difference if you look at the front window as in the ALP-44, it looks more squarer were as the AEM-7 is more of a rectangular look to them!

Yes, i know.

are the njt bi-levels the only trains with the ALP-46?

[ibook133]

They are multilevels with 3 seating levels, not 2. No, they are pushed & pulled by both the ALP-44 and ALP-46, however due to some of the alp-44's aging they put them with a lighter load. This mostly has to do with alp-44 in push mode, which is slower than the alp-46 in push mode by a noticeable amount accelerating. ALP-46 and the multilevels were design matched for 100% computability, but the alp-44's were being used all ready. You see them on other lines and reverse peak with alp-44.

It is there quite often, once a day at least.

Yea, those multi-level trains are smooth & comfy.

Wow, I remember when ALP-44s had Comet IIs, but why am I like saying hey I remember that, I don't have to do that anymore because there is still one ALP-44 in the entire world that still uses Comet IIs, and a Comet III with a Comet II unrebuilt, pretty inpresive.

What are the names of the Acela Engines

Well Septa only has 1 APL-44 and the rest are AEM-7s

Thats an ALP-44 but MARC and SEPTA do use AEM-7s not only Amtrak.
