Diesels Ruling the NorthEast Corridor! Hamilton / Princeton Jct. Railfanning + 2 ACES Trains!

Published 2009-01-09
Yes, that's right! Trainiac Productions caught TWO New Jersey Transit P40BH locomotives and TWO PL42AC locomotives while railfanning between Hamilton and Princeton Junction Stations! In this action-packed video, you will see everything from P40s to ALP44s; AEM7s to ALP46s! We'll take a ride aboard one of New Jersey Transit's Comet V coaches, getting off at historic Princeton Junction Station. There, we'll see tons of Northeast Corridor action -- most notable of which being a New Jersey Transit ACES (Atlantic City Express Service) train doing an Emergency Brake test ... right in front of our cameras! Sincere thank you to my Grandmother, who braved the bitter cold on this day so we could catch all of these trains. She is one in a million.
So please, relax in a comfortable chair and grab a drink -- because this is one Trainiac Production that you won't want to miss!
[I hope!]
Please Note: This is my first video with narration! Let me know how it sounds!

What an incredible legacy the PRR left behind with the Northeast Corridor. Probably couldn't be built today. Runs like clockwork too.
-
I hope we have the NJ TRANSIT ATLANTIC CITY EXPRESS SERVICE forever! Cause I've got to film it!!
-

Thanks very much, Trainrider1031. The Metroliner I mentioned was a test train conducted by Penn Central in 1965. The test was successful, but made PC realize that several track straightenings and adjustments were needed to make the NEC okay for high-speed action. As for the PL42s, I am not entirely sure. Possibly RVL moves, but I will not say for sure. Thanks again!

nice video dude!

The power change is why it has a diesel up front with an electric on the back. The diesel acts as a cab on the NEC up to Philadelphia, then the electric locomotive lowers its pantograph and the diesel takes over for the run to Atlantic City.

Thanks very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yes, the ACES trains begin revenue service on the 9th of February. The exteriors have been repainted into the ACES theme, and the interiors are incredible. Seriously -- coach has leather seats with great headrests. First class has leather seats that are so wide you can probably fit two people on each seat. Plus, there is a lounge car that offers snacks and beverages. This is one train NJT will be proud of!

Great Video. Great catch with the ACES test trains. Dont listen to the conductor about not being allowed to take pics or vids. You are allowed. Grea stuff and keep up the good work. Ohhh yeah BTW, I will be out to take vids in the snow. Thanks for the heads up earlier. Will probably stay local
