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.
Couldn't agree more with each of your statements! Every inch of the NEC is fascinating and awe inspiring. Thanks for watching, Brock!
I hope we have the NJ TRANSIT ATLANTIC CITY EXPRESS SERVICE forever! Cause I've got to film it!!
I'd love to see ACES make a return! I miss it, it was really cool. Thank you so much for watching!
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 for the excellent photography. I especially appreciate your commentary. Thanks for that too.
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!
rember the good old days when you see the P40BH
and ALP-44
NJT Amtrak Railfan i
Probably the best Trainiac episode ever. Nice luck with equipment here too. The narration is sweet. You are the MASTER of this!
Awesome! This is one of your best yet.
Excellent Video Jim!! Great narration!!
Oh next time im in Baltimore i hope i can get a few shots of some of those trains, great video!
amazing video nice Atlantic city test train
Very nice catches jim.
Yes it was.. and yes they can! They use the electric engine (ALP44M) under the electrified track (New York to Philadelphia),then the diesel (P40BH) to Atlantic City over the nonelectrified zone.
nice video dude!
Good narration, makes the video much more intresting knowing what your looking at.
this video is your best ever and i mean it!!!!! lots of great trains especial the alantic city express service test train
Thanks Corey! I appreciate it!
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!
Good stuff! Great job with the narration, too.
Thank You very much!
Wow! Thank you so much for your comment, Adam! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it!
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 Matt!
Great video.
Excellent man the best video yet i like the narration the best! Great catch on those aces trains i was wondering how they were going to deal with the power change since it starts in NYP. Thanks again!!!
Wow, hard to believe that 2009 was 11 years ago. Feels like yesterday.
Couldn't agree more, Gabe. It's crazy how fast time really flies. Not a fan!
Missed the ALP-44 and AEM-7s (AKA Toasters)
Thanks! And no problem!
Thanks!
Nice video!
No problem your videos are amazing
Great Video This Was an Fantastic Video I think the Narriation was Pretty Clever
wow gr8 action clip
Great video. Narration was pretty good for a first timer. Keep it up.
niec vid Kyle! I dont mind the narration but i still like it with silence! LOl Nice Vid again Kyle
Awesome video!
no problem it was worth watching
Thanks very much! I'm glad that you liked it! And yes, so am I! I can't wait to ride it!
Aha thanks John!
Nice ONES
On the last page of the book, there are "Tips for traveling on Amtrak". Tip 9 is "Look for scenic photo opportunities. Our trains pass many beautiful and interesting sights, so bring your camera. If you use film, we recommend medium speed (ISO 200 or higher)".
Great one! There's a phase 4 amfleet at 02:49!
I've made dozens of videos since this one (which was uploaded in 2009), with better equipment and more practice with voiceovers! I hope you'll take a look at them if you get a chance to! Thanks for stopping by!
@TrainiacProductions they probably would run the NJT trains at those faster speeds if the cars could handle it cause i know the ALP46A's can go 125
They look pretty similar.. but the PL42 has an EMD 16-710G3C-T1 prime mover and is made by EMD and Alstom, whereas the P40 has a GE 7FDL16 and is made solely by General Electric.
Thanks for stopping by!
It sure is!
Exccellant Video
nice video. and NJT got rid of the permit requirement years ago.
hey great video and does the aces ever use that p42
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
not all ACES is electrified, thats why Electric brings up the rear allowing it to reach Penn
btw, is that a NJT AEM7 or does it have different classification?
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.
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
Well.. before taking the train to PJC, I was at Hamilton for about a half an hour. After returning FROM PJC, I remained at Hamilton for another 20 - 35 minutes
nice video!!!
I hope to catch the opening train on February 7. But, with the Comet VI/ PL42 sets; they're going to be used on ACES?
Yes Sir!
@TrainiacProductions GE should make a Genesis model with pantograph, now thats a duel mode engine!
Nah A P42DC Switch the traction motors to AC slap a third rail shoe on there. Then just add a pantograph. Upgrade the HEP and lengthen the locomotive to have the electrical equipment and increased fuel storage. Bam A P42AC-TM A triple-mode beast that would be freakin amazing but amtrak doesn't have money for an insane experiment like that
What video editing program do you use? I watch a whole lot of your videos and they are all great! You deserve a sub from me. Great work TrainiacProductions.
5:26 the dinky has arrived
This is a great vid, I loved it! That conductor was stupid. I had Amtrak police tell me before that I wasn't allowed to take pictures of trains, I didn't know that I had moved to Russia! Is that crazy or what? This is your bet video yet, keep up the great work! 5* rate!
cool video
Lounge cars? Man that's going to be something. After hearing that information, I really want to ride this. How many ACES will NJT run daily? Because I get the feeling this service will be competition against a few Regional and Keystone trains between New York and Philly.
Ohh... I completely forgot about that. Thanks for the correction
Was that PL42AC running down to ACL line? If so why? Capcity required or testing for that route?
5000000000000000000000 stars...GREAT GREAT GREAT!
at one point i kept thinking that pl42s were the same thing as p40s
NEATO-MATIC!!!!!!!!
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.
whats the NJT and Amtrak speed through Hamilton NJ and Prinston JCT?
I've seen locomotive hauled NJT trains hit 100 mph between New Brunswick and Princeton Junction, but I've never seen Arrow IIIs break 80 mph.
What's on the back of the system timetable?
It was strange how that PL42AC was facing east when diesels usually face west.
Great video. And a big Boo to that conductor.
(I may be wrong) but NJT is 90 MPH for both, and Amtrak is 125 Hamilton 115 Princeton Junction
Np! And that's pretty cool to hear! If you'll be able to drive around, I could give you a few tips for a secret location I have ;D No one knows about it! Mwahaha. But, they will after I upload videos from there. Lol. But enjoy your trip out here! I hope you catch some good shots
what if they got a train thats ALP-44 but with multievel cab cars
By the sounds of it, they'd have needed to re-grind the wheels on that test train back into circular shape after that brake test.
The Amtrak police obviously haven't seen the back of the system timetable.
WAIT! ALBERT EINSTEIN WENT TO THE UNITED STATES!
Yes! He lived in the United States from the early-1930s until his death in 1955 and most of that time he lived in Princeton, New Jersey
Why was a PL42AC on the NEC? They don't have enough respect to be on that line yet!
Was that a electric engine with a diesel locomotive on the back at 5:42 ?
Can they do that?
CMLovejoy, That’s an ALP-44 and P40DC.
Alp 44s
Yes! I miss them!
TrainiacProductions, Me too! I don’t know why it got retired early.
@@robloxgamingrailfanner420 NJT hasnt even payed them off yet
That is an NJT ALP-44 it look almost identical to the AEM7 but I don't think that NJT owns an AEM7.
I am not entirely sure
The ones on the ACES test trains at 0:40 and at 5:45
Snow flurries!
nice video, but 'round here they are called P40BH.
I have no idea.
Everybody has every right to take pictures on the train. I had somebody call the cops on me in Linden, NJ
Who is your friend?
0:12
also in the info box it says copyright 2008 u might wanna change it to say 09
It's an APL-44
It’s P40DC
i mean that p40
@jfsa380
that will be cool
Busy station
Oh yes, quite! Thank you for watching!
Also, that conductor who told you you're not allowed to take pictures is stupid. If that was an Amtrak conductor, I would tell him to look at the back of the system timetable. It specifically says BRING A CAMERA!
what in the world, who says you cant take pictures on board. i checked the rule book. there is nothing about it in there. i must be a conductor on a different new jersey transit.
