3:08 *Here we see MNCR 4910 casually passing through with her number boards flipped up* How hard is it to close the number boards after doing repairs smh
When you're dealing with union workers who probably can't read instructions, have "lifetime jobs" and couldn't care less about what they do, something like that is very easy. My question. Didn't the engineer notice it? If he/she did, why not close them on your own? Oh, I know. Not in my job description.
I wonder if Metro North is still considering the replacement of their current fleet with Siemens Chargers. Also are the NJT F40PHs always going to operate as a pair, or will they be used separately like what they did for the PTC shortage?
It's up to Metro-North themselves if they want to use those. If you *really* want them to use Siemens Chargers, you can tell them yourself by signing up to speak at the board meeting later this month.
I’d have to say it’s a tie between 6000 and 6004, especially since they have Airchime K5LAs. Not a huge fan of the raised letters, even though they sound good.
Some great maintenance that NJT gives that MNR F40 with both numberplates in the front flipped up. The f40 thats the image used for the video is what i mean. Lol. Good job
It’s cool that you drive a Prius because you get great gas mileage for these trips you take. Right now I drive an HHR, it gets about 23 mpg, my mother owns a 2013/14 Prius and she was considering to pass it over to me, I don’t disagree because it gets a good 53/55 mpg. But anyways nice video!!
So that’s how NJT treats 4910? Lol
4910 is owned by Metro-North. But you’re right to say NJT is operating it.
1:23 That SAAHC thoooo 🤙🏾
6050's K5LA sounds like it got it's 1 bell replaced with a 1L bell (Correct me if I'm wrong)
It's been like that for a LONG time.
@FanRailer I know that was like 2 years ago, but that would make it a hybrid K5LLA right?

Lol I didn’t notice until you pointed it out.

@@cats0182 Engineers aren’t allowed to climb equipment. Even if they wanted, they couldn’t.
Excellent NJ Transit & Metro North catches with the Taco F40 Twins
I might’ve asked this before, so you use radio scanners?
For passengers you don’t need to use scanners
@@ROTE - Why not? You can find out about under the cover moves.
Railfaner 232 it’s also easier to know what they are doing and sometimes get intel of the consist...
hey i have a question, how can you tell whether its a njt train or mta train?
@@gp35m52 where can you get a radio scanner and how do you know what to listen to
Great footage. Why does MN 4910 have its number boards lifted up on the front?

@@finnleystaub5936 nah, the older fleet is better.
Out of all Comet Vs 6012 has the best K5LA imo 😍
Raised Letter K5LAs.
I’d have to say it’s a tie between 6000 and 6004, especially since they have Airchime K5LAs. Not a huge fan of the raised letters, even though they sound good.
6012 has since received a K5LLA.
4907 sounds killer!
Im curious is that the #5 have a issue with air lag?
Some great maintenance that NJT gives that MNR F40 with both numberplates in the front flipped up. The f40 thats the image used for the video is what i mean. Lol. Good job
I saw it when I went back and looked at the screenshot. Made me smile lol
1:42 I will say that 4905 do he lookin epic.
Also, does the GP40FH-2 (4905's class) count as the cousin to the F40PH?
It’s more related to the GP40PH-2 at this point, but essentially it’s an F40 and GP40 in one (although the cowling comes from F45s).
I honestly didn’t know NJT had F40ph’s
was 6012 horn always like thet?
What happened to 4910? It looks abandoned
Metro north’s 4907 💯💯💯💯
Really enjoyed watching 👍😎

So NJ transit and Metra are the only railroads that still use the F40ph in regular service?
and MBTA, Amtrak, CalTrain, and the MTA
No.
No, Caltrain uses some
MBTA too.
Texas and Pacific There’s many more like Music City Star, Coaster, Tri-Rail, Caltrain, among others
Great video! I was at Ramsey that day
That bell 3:50-3:52
Great video!
is that the other type of Siemens Charger at the start of the vid?
Lol no, that's the Alstom PL42ac
No, that is a PL42AC - pretty common with double decker sets in the past and are supposed to be retired soon.
No that’s an Alstom PL42AC. Looks and sounds completely different.
NJTransit doesn't use Siemens Chargers.
No, that's a P42AC, a one-off type for NJT that will be mostly retired soon.
I live in Rutherford I film my videos there
Hate those f40s the noise..give me a cnj gp40 any day
Cool
Nice....
Chris Christie screwed up NJT during is term as NJ's governor.
That's one short ass platform
That platform is not normally in use. The station itself is on the other side of the grade crossing.
