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.

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!

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!

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.

Seriously, this was your best video EVER! I knew NJT was going to start running ACES soon, but I didn't know when. Now after seeing these test runs, I'm guessing they will be starting official service by the time Spring rolls around. What caught my eye here were the repainted Bi-Level cars. I had no clue NJT would repaint them for this service. I wonder if the interiors are different too. Another interesting catch in this video was at 2:23 with the 5 car Regional. That's rare!

Nah A P42DC Switch the traction motors to AC slap a third rail shoe on there. Then just add a pantograph.

First of all, another excellent production! Second, I really enjoyed the narration. In fact, I'd suggest a little more narration, ID'ing the various locomotives, particularly for those of us who don't live near the NEC, and aren't familiar with electric power. Finally, I assume the "no photo" remark by the conductor was for security. I think it's bunk. Do you ever get hasseled for taking pics at the stations? What's next....asking to see your papers?!? Thanks again! Mike

That was in fact not a PL42AC locomotive, that was a GE-P40DC locomotive bought from Amtrak last year. That would be a ACES (Atlantic City Express Service) brake test train, that will be for the new ACES service coming up in a few months, and those multilevels are Comet VI multilevels, the same they had, just in new ACES paint, those will only go on the ACES service and nothing else on the ACL and NEC, and some NJ Transit painted cars will be part of that service too, with the PL42AC.

NJT trains are good for 90+ from Trenton to Princeton JCT. NE Regional trains are good for 125 from PA to a few miles past Princeton Acela sets are good for 135 from the PA border to a few miles east of PJC.
