Dude this is now my #1 rail channel. The info is great. I get bored just watching them roll on by........and they all look the same......no scare stripes anymore either.
I was waiting for your to talk about 1524 the GP-9 NJT has painted up as CNJ in the green and double yellow stripes. Beautiful, I'm a sucker for all these heritage units around now.
1. This video is my favorite remarkable engines video 2. This is how I discovered the PennsyFan during lockdown 3. When I first found this video, I had recently just found out about 4109 as I’ve never kept up with NJT as a Chicago Railfan.
Keep in mind that the B&O also had something to do with the acquisition of these units...thats why they were numbered in the C&O/B&O numbering system. 3671-3683 were CNJ...while 3684-3699 were B&O units.
Hey I did watch this video! I’m glad to see someone made tribute to the 4109. I only really like the locomotive because my family used to see her around Jersey City and Newark.
I should note that 4109, along with 4105, 4110, and 4112, were never rebuilt in 2014. that's why 4109 could re-enter revenue service so spontaneously, and in theory, so can 4105, 4110, and 4112.
4105 is the one pictured in the postcards that were available for sale ... back when postcards were in sinc ... I operated it once and had an incident with this unit. They originally had dual pedestals and steam generators...
Has anyone actually seen 4109 running over ex-CNJ routes (Raritan Valley or NJCL)? From the pics/video I’ve seen it’s been relegated to the Hoboken Division, and in my return to riding the RVL in the past 6 months after several years away from it, I’ve seen only ALP45s and PL42’s. Even just in passing I don’t recall seeing any GP40s on the line since the ALP45s first appeared. But it would be cool to see it back on its home rails.
I've seen a lot of GP40PH-2S from NJ Transit on the Pascack Valley line and Erie Main line and Bergen county line same as GP40PFH-2BS even down south by Jersey shore
Consider the story of the 10 nkp gp30s, the most surviving order of gp30s with most going to BNSF, 2 in tourist service, 1 on static display, the rest being scrapped
The other line where 4106 can run is Atlantic city line because of the PL42AC being too heavy. Speaking of 4519 that can also run on CNJ Raritan Valley Line as a direct High Bridge to New York Penn Station train
Makes sense since ALP45s are dual mode. I'm not sure if *4109* ever ran on the Atlantic City branch before. How often are Geeps swapped out on the branch that's isolated from the rest of the NJT system?
Amazing video! Sadly, if you haven't heard, 4109 died about a month ago due to some sort of major issue in the computer system, and may never go back into service (I never got to saw this locomotive!) Keep up the great work man!
I am saddened to hear that. That's the third time something bad happened to a locomotive I covered in Remarkable Engines. There are reports of ELS 600 being missing and IANR 678's main trian (the Hawkeye Express) has been cut from IANR's budget.
Here's an update on #NJT4109: As of 5 months ago, 4109 is back in active service; not only its computer problems been fixed, a new bell and horn has been placed on it. The "new" horn is a Leslie RS3L, replacing its previous K5LA unit. Here's one video of 4109 with the "new" horn: m.th-cam.com/video/_v_e0n3Jps8/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for the information, but I'm going to have to decline this suggestion as I've covered the general history of the Geeps in this video, and one of those two would be the same information as this one.
I don't remember being asked for permission for use of my photos. Neither do any of the other handful of people whos photos I recognize. Claim fair use all you want, courtesy will carry you a long way.
I understand your point. This was made before a point where I asked for permission, and I have since done so for recent videos. I have also stopped using photos on railpictures.net and flickr in particular since those are usually from professionals who are paid for their photos. I have also listed proper credit in the descriptions of these older videos, and proper credit for this video (including your name) has since been added.
@@Pensyfan19 for the record I don't mind my photos being used but obviously I'd like to be asked and secondly a link to the source in the description. I've had my work stolen and sold by other people in the past. If I don't defend my photography who will? You also shouldn't be monetizing this video since most of the content isn't yours.

4109 was leased out in 1989 I believe!
Lest we not forget the FM Trainmasters - JCL/CNJ/CRRCofNJ
8:23 njt employee: ah great the cab car is broken. 4109: i dont need no cab car.

I missed 4109 by mere minutes once
Great video thanks
4109 is also a testament to the longevity of the GP40.
Which makes me happy.
Nice history! Now you can do a full history of the 4101 next! It's recent repaint back into NJDOT bluebird livery, imho is even nicer!!
Now we just need NJT to buy a GG1 and bring it back

Just incase that the passenger side went out, the B&O could use them on frieght trains.
Why was NJT celebrating 40 years in 2019 when they didn't exist until 1983?
Their rail operations didn't officially exist until 1983, but their other operations were created in 1979.
Hey I did watch this video! I’m glad to see someone made tribute to the 4109. I only really like the locomotive because my family used to see her around Jersey City and Newark.
Wow, that's was a pretty cool video clip. I remember CNJ & Conrail railroads.

Something unheard of ??? 8:49 notice the CNJ painted GP7

From the pics/video I’ve seen it’s been relegated to the Hoboken Division, and in my return to riding the RVL in the past 6 months after several years away from it, I’ve seen only ALP45s and PL42’s. Even just in passing I don’t recall seeing any GP40s on the line since the ALP45s first appeared. But it would be cool to see it back on its home rails.
Surprisingly no. But there was one exception: on July 19, 2021, 4109 was used on the Raritan line for the retirement run of a CNJ engineer.
Amtrak needs to repaint 145 & 822 in the P42 & P40 Phase IIIs. Also, a ACS-64 HU Program, including a AEM-7 style Phase III.
Amen to that!
I've seen a lot of GP40PH-2S from NJ Transit on the Pascack Valley line and Erie Main line and Bergen county line same as GP40PFH-2BS even down south by Jersey shore
A lot these trains from NJ Transit and Metro North idle at Hoboken Terminal for next Departure to wherever trains need to go to
wow great jobyou choose a herritage unit from my railroad! my favorite!
totally surprised to see u lol
Do NS 1700, its like 4109 but it's an NS SD45-2 in EL paint
I'm actually considering that locomotive for Remarkable Engines sometime soon, so be on the lookout for that one next!
Note that the Bells on the GP40s are placed right in front of the dynamic brake fans? behind the fireman/conductors spot.
Consider the story of the 10 nkp gp30s, the most surviving order of gp30s with most going to BNSF, 2 in tourist service, 1 on static display, the rest being scrapped
wait is 4109 metallic?
It was repainted instead of given a wrap, so it looks metallic.
How could you forget about the GP40TC. They were originally GO transit then were purchased by Amtrak.
I cover individual locomotives for this series instead of all the locomotives in one class.
The other line where 4106 can run is Atlantic city line because of the PL42AC being too heavy. Speaking of 4519 that can also run on CNJ Raritan Valley Line as a direct High Bridge to New York Penn Station train

@@Pensyfan19 It’s usually the 42xx’s that run the isolated Atlantic City Line.

@@Pensyfan19 I'm just as sad as you are, it was a great engine, hopefully NJT puts it back into revenue service.

@@kristoffermangilaIt litteraly went from bad luck to a blessing in disguise!
10:22
Isn't NJT going to rebuild more 41xx units now as the PL42ACs are leaving?
I believe so. That's why NJT just reactivated their F40-2CATs to serve as backup engines while the Geeps are gone.
@@Pensyfan19Are the pl42s going to go into retirement before the geeps and f40s?
@@VapingLobster I'm not sure, but if they would, it would go to show the reliability of EMD over other manufacturers.
you should do 4111 or 4112. 4111 is used as a work train now! ive seen it!
Thank you for the information, but I'm going to have to decline this suggestion as I've covered the general history of the Geeps in this video, and one of those two would be the same information as this one.
@@Pensyfan19 Alright. No problem. Have a great night, keep up the great work! loving the videos!
Nice video!
So, NJT will soon have Emus running through the Alps?
The Lackawanna cutoff extension is supposed to be diesel powered and not electrified.
@Pensyfan19 NJT is still getting MultiLevel IV Emus, which will run alongside Alps.
Heritage coaches?
Yep! That was the first part of NJT's heritage program.
@@Pensyfan19 cool also October 5th is the character shioriko mifune's birthday so thats cool
Hell they should have just called it a GP P45 because u think about it it is a SDP45 on GP trucks so why not just call it a GP P45 LOL

Saw the CNJ heritage unit twice last week on the PVL
