4 of 5. Late afternoon at arguably the best passenger train-watching spot in the country: Harrison, NJ, just across the Passaic River from Newark Penn Station. Shot from the westbound PATH platform.

Summer 2001 shows an Amtrak in transition: new Acela Express trainsets and HHP-8 locos are on the property, and so are the older E60s. The workhorse AEM-7s and Amfleets abound in three different paint schemes.

Most of the action here is New Jersey Transit commuter trains on the Northeast Corridor, North Jersey Coast, and Raritan Valley lines (with a few other surprises). This was a few years before the ALP-46s and Comet Vs began arriving; you'll see mostly solid sets of Comet IIs (and their frequent tag-alongs, the Arrow I-rebuild IBs), IIIs and IVs hauled by ALP-44 electrics and F40PH-2CAT diesels, along with a healthy dose of Arrow III MUs.

  • Wow!!! AEM-7 #914 before it's rebuild into an AEM-7AC!!! Good catch! :)

  • The blue paint scheme of the Metroliners looked awesome

  • Clockers kicked major ass!!!!! I remember them, a great service btw NYP and points west to eastern PA I believe.

  • Oh, and I forgot. Metroliners go from NY-WAS but they made fewer stops than the Regional.

    I remember Clockers Service! Acela Express pretty much wiped both the Metroliner and Clockers out of existence!

  • It's funny to see comet IVs and unrebuilt comet IIs.

  • I agree. Especially since I live in Jersey!

  • Love the train action! Amazing how far NJT came!

  • cool action. it's amazing how far NJT has come in 7 1/2 years. From unrebuilt Comet IIs to Multilevels. But sadly from Arrows to Long Branch to Arrows to Aberdeen-Matawan =(
