Thanks glad you liked it! If you're referring to that shot at Montclair, that's all a quiet zone. Every crossing has 4 gates so no cars can go around. Unfortunately the same can't be said for pedestrians. And that "graveyard" surprisingly has some cool stuff. They finished restoring a GG1 there, its looks amazing. Nothing to do with it though...
I guess that one engineer didn't like to blow the horn. Also I love the grave yard at 5:50 of past rollingstock used where that N.J. Transit train was passing. I love videos where the past & present are in the same shot! Great video as always!
Awesome work, Kevin! I saw my first dual-mode today... It was actually pretty neat. These units are definitely unique. Anyway, great job on the video. Nice panning as well... Nice and smooth!
Great catches Kevin!! Caught a few of these this week at Walnut Street. I can hear the horns from my house and I live in Verona. I miss hearing the L-L-S-L horn patterns for the crossings.
Outstanding video as always my dude! I hope everyone really appreciates the effort that was put into this video, you went above and beyond the call of duty on this one haha.
Great video Kevin, I'am not really into Passenger trains but I do imagine and hope that these new ALP45DP's enter service on the Raritan Valley Line, North Jersey Coast Line and the Main Bergen County and Port Jervis Line. I'am surprised these engines weren't built with dual cabs on either side. I would like to see these in action around my area and beyond.
"SEPTA" no longer has an excuse. This type of unit could easily run beyond Norristown under diesel mode en-route to Reading, PA. Also the "T" could use these units on the Providence Line to utilize the catenary in place.
Great Vid!! I noticed in the first sequence that the changeover did not complete, as although the engine was running in E-mode, the engines were still running. I can still see heat waves coming up from the exhausts as it pulled away.
Well here's a little. NJ Transit's "version" of the Boonton Line uses a combination of the DLW Booton line and the Erie Greenwood Lake line. Traveling east, the line switches from DLW to Erie where the two crossed over back in the day. It took the Erie into Hoboken until 2002, when the Montclair Connection connected the Boonton line to the DLW Monclair line, which used to be a stub end MU branch (again, back in the day.) The rest of the Erie Greenwood lake line is now abandoned.
haha, glad you liked it! I get a kick out of that part too. Its actually the same train at the same station in the same weather but on two separate days. Its as if I have a "film crew" lol
Great video and NJ transit might allow prospective train drivers who currently attend centenary college by driving the alp-45 from hackettstown to msu station, but a msu njt intern might be allowed to operate alp-45 into nyc or Hoboken. My plan should have two train drivers on the hackettstown/Scranton-Nyc via Montclair state university station.
Thanks Rich!, I put that in just as a guess and forgot to check if I was right, thanks. And yes I feel the same way. Unfortunately its all new technology and it doesn't exactly have a lot of people pulling for it. But like I said before, at 12 million a pop... they have to have one hell of a warrantee!
Thanks! Really, neither am I, its just newsworthy. They weren't built with dual cabs because there was literally no room on it to include it. They were built as long a possible.
Some people complain about modern locomotives looking too European, whatever. Either way these locomotives still look cool, not that classic motive power is bad but each belongs to it's era.
I think North American locomotives are usually ugly, especially our diesels, the ALP series is a nice change. Also I dislike that North American locos never have their headlights in a glass hing to make it more streamlined. The Europeans know what they are doing.

Haha. You must have had another crew member with a camera? I really had to watch that part like 5 times...it was a great idea!
Awesome work, Kevin! I saw my first dual-mode today... It was actually pretty neat. These units are definitely unique. Anyway, great job on the video. Nice panning as well... Nice and smooth!
Amazing shots of the new units!
Great video Kevin! Nice catch on the Comet V combo breaker with the MN Comet V cab btw.
Great video Kevin! This will always be the best video of these engines in revenue service.
Thanks John! Glad you enjoyed it
The panto-graphs were awsome

Did you teleport at 3:30 to 4:30?
Awesome video Kevin. This is a very nice engine. I never saw one do the mode change, though. I'll go to MSU sometime in hopes of catching one.
Great catch from different location.

Nice video Kevin,I'll definately have to come up to see them some time!

Awesome shot at 2:42!
NJ Transit great notch yard. i used to work for NJ Transit and used to work in that yard to.
Thanks Adam! I appreciate it

Thanks! Looks like a consist that should have been on the M&E. I think it was the day after.
Thanks Steve!! I really appreciate that.
Good stuff! Nice roof shots! Love the 45’s. My favorite locomotive. I think you have just earned a subscription!

Thanks! One of my favorites too
Thanks Kyle!
Thank you!
Thanks! Its kind of strange not hearing a horn. Trains are so quiet now in general. You don't hear these new engines unit they're right on top of you.
cool, i wonder if people are aloud to visit them and see their equipment!
Thanks! Really, neither am I, its just newsworthy. They weren't built with dual cabs because there was literally no room on it to include it. They were built as long a possible.
Thanks!
Nice!
Wow, cool hybrid. Here's to modern technology.
Yep, thats where they have their shop/storage
at 5:49 isn't that the URHS equipment?
Normally, no. But funny you mention it. They're having an open house on September 16
I rode behind 4510 from Hoboken to NWK
Hold the phone. 4510 actually had black grab irons at one point? I thought BBD built it with orange ones until now.
nice 3rd gen K5la
I saw that twice on the Bergen line
sweet kevin just imagine that horn on a gp30
They are now also on train 1005 4:29 from HOB to Dover
elevatorman17 Dover can’t change to the Sussex line to penn station
Yep. Brand new technology. Rarely used for this purpose.

that sounds good to me lol
