Timmy, wonderful cinematic views which enhance your historical reference points & story line on this wonderful interurban shortline! Thank you for sharing; much appreciated your efforts! This is Peter M; out!
Tried to follow in your footsteps on Saturday. Got to Penn right at a 30-minute gap in corridor trains. Patience is a virtue but not with me. I settled for PATH to Hudson-Bergen. Excellent video.
Took it on 8/26 as part of fare free week on NJT. Started at Hob with 9:13 m&e train to Hacketstown. took train back from hacketstown to newark broad st. took light rail to newark penn. got on 3:01 Rv train to High Bridge. Took train back to newark penn. changed to Penn station NY train and ended my free day on njt at 6:35 pm . Thanks Gov Murphy.
I've ridden both the Newark and Hudson-Bergen light rail. Great transportation. I have a NJ Transit reduced fare card (for 62 years and older) and ride for reduced fare on light rail, trains and buses. 😃👍
Well, I’m a senior also, but it was nice not to have to worry about time limits on those reduced cards the other day. I have to keep paying $1.10 or whatever the new fair is now several times just to ride it.
I rode the City Subway in 69-70 to get to my first job after college. Lived in Paterson and worked in Newark. I used to park at Branch Brook which was the end of the line at that time and had free parking, and ride to the Military Park station. It was the old Pcc cars in those days.
Hello Mr. Tim, I just recently booked reservations for Friday September 13th. aboard Amtrak 91 Silver Star going from Philadelphia's 30th Street to Tampa FL. I've done this a few times already.
Those trains take me back. I used to take them to Grove Street and transfer to the 72 bus to my former college, Bloomfield College (Now Bloomfield College of Montclair State University). Sometimes I used to take it with my sister when she lived in Newark. We take it at Davenport and we part ways at Penn Station. Davenport Avenue used to have an overpass before the ramp was put believe it or not. Branch Brook Park Station was formally called Heller Parkway. Then at the curve it used to be the final station, Franklin Avenue. Thanks for taking me down memory lane.
And I heard they still going to be running some diesel trains as a shuttle to Gilroy because that section is still not electrified so we can still see the locomotives diesel
Tim, was the Grove Street section built on an old Erie ROW off the Greenwood Lake Branch? Looking on streetview there is def a ROW all the way to a crossing over the Mont-Boon Line. This has my curiosity going!
Tim, you keep calling them trains. They are cars. You might note the station signs and other signs that say CARS TO. Admittedly, the onboard PA announcements say "trains" but I gave up trying to get NJT to change that years ago.
Well, I just looked at them ambiguously and nobody shot me for saying the wrong thing although some of the neighborhoods on that line I could’ve gotten shot at
It’s actually fake…just a cluster of screens with the graphics mimicking the real Solari board that used to be there, and the sounds added when the graphics change. It’s actually pretty convincing and I think a nice touch.

I just did the Newark light rail thing yesterday, taking advantage of the free fare week. Not the first time we missed each other by a day

Great review of the Newark Light Rail System. Thanks Tim🥰👍👌

Tim, I miss those iconic PCC trolley cars, you can still see old remnants of the old trolley catenary poles on the sides!!

That was the Newark Branch ex Erie
@3985uprr thank you as always sir!
Hi from the UK. Have you visited the Chicago South Shore and South Bend in your Travels?
I would like to, and I would also like to get a drivers view from their bilevel cars
Hey rail guy how you doing I heard that Caltrain made that debut on 11th of August by any chance are you going back down there this year to do a show
No
I wonder why the NLR doesn’t have double cars like the HBLR does? Maybe I think because of how the rails are and how narrow it gets maybe.
Well, it is double track it splits apart in downtown Newark, but it’s still two tracks
@@3985uprr Maybe because some stops platforms are too small like warren street but idk I’m still figuring out abt the light rails
Is the Branchbrook section the Old Boonton Line?
Erie Newark Branch
What type of fare instrument did you buy? Thanks 🙏
I would hope none. This is NJ Transit free week.

I call them trains, also. If they ride on rails, they're trains, IMO.
0:35 They still have that, i would thought it's gone and replaced with LED Borading Screens
im am shocked, my friend Tim
Surprised me too
@@3985uprr before 2014, i remember seeing that at the New Haven Union Station
I hope they stay

@@de-fault_de-fault it's not fake, it a milestone, and most of us have seen them now and then
