Always nice to see those GP40's. Love the sound on those engines

[@Engine201]

Nice video Brian. I miss our GP40PHs. Nothing else like 'em.

We’ve still got the 3 Units of Ex-CNJ GP40PH-2’s (4100-4101, and 4109 “CNJ Heritage Unit”) and Ex-NYC/Ex-PC GP40PH-2B’s (NJT 4200-4219) but unfortunately the next few years the 17 additional ALP-45DP’s (NJT 4535-4551) will replace the GP40PH-2B’s (Ex-NYC/Ex-PC) and I don’t know about NJT 4205 and NJT 4213

[@MNCRR4191]

Thanks Bobby!

awesome, you got a closeup of it! its so noisy

[@MNCRR4191]

NJT has 3 variations of GP40. You have the GP40PH-2 which are numbered 4100-4112 and 4145-4150, 4148 no longer exists as it was involved in a horrible accident back in the 90's. Today 4148 is 4219, but is still a PH-2 model. The other variation is the PH-2B model numbered 4200-4218, but they look the same as the PH-2s. The GP40-2s are numbered 4300-4303 and are not used for revenue service since they lack Head End Power motors.

Thanks Morrison! and yup I agree, nothing else like them.

[@MNCRR4191]

Thanks! Yup it sounds awesome accelerating out from under I-95!

[@mr.conductorfromsts4204]

The bell sounds like the same as NJT 4108 and 4101

[@MNCRR4191]

Thanks

[@monica012077]

so what the difference between this, the GP40PH-2B, and the GP40-2? They all look the same to me
