- That is fantastic excursion features the PRR painted ALP46A #4636 and the NJT disco striped ALP46A #4640 pulling us to South Amboy where the traditional engine swap once occurred until 1988. NJT recreates this here once again swapping out the ALP46A’s for the last 2 surviving F40PH-2CATS #4119 and #4120 for the rest of the trip to Bay Head, around the loop, and back to Hoboken. Aside from a couple of incidents, the trip went well and a fun time was had by all.  Congratulations New Jersey Transit on a job well done. (I can’t add. 7500 x 2 is 15000😀)

Nice work there Mister-Mister !! Hello from Penn Station in Baltimore...
Thank you for the trip my friend
You're so lucky you were able to snag a seat on this magical ride, and you deserved it for all your wonderful knowledge! I too am glad it was much better weather wise that Saturday and for the festival at Hoboken the day after! It's both mind-blowing and a bit sad that NJT has just two F40PH-2CATs left and bringing them out for the occasion is such a tribute to a workhorse.
I had to grab that as soon as the tickets were for sale
Avery, I just subscribed to your channel, cuz the name you created is Genius 🧞♂️ !! Well then, guess I'm [ Drew, the Jamaican 🇯🇲-- American ] . Haha 😅. Hello from Baltimore.
At 56:58 you see a group of 3 pine trees (after the red dumpster). On one of them is a memorial plaque for the late Stu Wagner, Trainman. We called him the mayor of bay head. The railroad was his life, we were his family. Now he watches over our comings and goings from the yard and hopefully puts in a word for us with the big man upstairs for safe journeys.
I'm glad someone onboard decided to film the ride. That K5LA on 4120 is superb.
Real nice video..lovin your commentary and your knowledge of the line. Gary.
My friend and I were in Car 2 as well. Excellent, fun video, I enjoyed it all.
Glad you enjoyed it!
32:49, thats me. I'm suprised that I didn't see you there! Hope you had fun on the train.
Just started this but looks like another great video! Glad to virtually experience the celebration!
NJT is one of our customers. No, no passes.
Awesome video bud and sometimes I do miss working for Njt also I did ride in 4119 and 4120 and some of the alp46’s and I remember seeing a e60 parked at Danville NJ about 15 to 20 years ago
44:01 You passed by me. I was wearing the orange Naruto sweater.
Very awesome video by the way!
Wonderful video!! Loved your commentary throughout the video along with hearing the horn on 4120 & 4119. The sounds of the train are also great to hear.
Great memories of my commute in 1970-71.I lived with my parents in Pt. pleasant and commute to Newark. Morning train was a Pennsy, with an old New Haven lounge car that I road every day. I certainly remember the change to GG1s at
South Amboy.,Evening train was a Jersey Central and ran diesel,all he way. Another sure what engines were on that. Thanks for the memories!
I've lived life long in NJ and would have loved to see real gg1 engines. Sadly, we usually only took trains into nyc, mostly for games and concerts at the garden. So, that gave no teal opportunity to see gg1 engines. We posted our tribute video of the sunday hoboken viewing of the heritage diesels. Some nice diesels but no gg1. Gary
That GP9 you saw does freight runs to Woodhaven lumber in Lakewood. He runs down there about 2 times a week. Southern rail division does videos on that run on youtube. The railroad is the Black river railroad. Your videos are great! thanks.
I worked in Car 3 (6207). I recall seeing you at our various stops. Great video! It was cool seeing Joey helping people off at Bay Head. Good guy, always a pleasure to work with him!
Nice video it was the best day ever I was in car 3.
I was at Linden, then Cliffwood Beach, then Point Pleasant Beach, finally ended at Spring Lake Heights, was an awesome chase but cant wait for another excursion!
Nice , wish I had hitched a ride on that chase. We posted a tribute video on Sunday's hoboken heritage engine viewing. I'd much prefer seeing an engine blow by than standing still as a display. Gary
15:47
I was at Spring Lake when the train was traveling south (wearing the yellow/lime Fire Police rain gear standing on the Northbound side)👍 Loved the video by the way❤
I was at Bradley Beach, you can see one of my planted tripods near Milepost 29 marker at 1:18:06. I was on the other side getting video, photos, and an audio recording.
38:26 im right out there in the yellow rain suit lol
My wife and I were one car ahead of you and we were in Hoboken on Sunday too. Great videos! Long time fan of your channel. Hope to meet you in person someday.
I was the kid at the front of the platform while you where entering South Amboy lol
i was the guy in front of you on the way down to Bay Head
You heard my voice too much 😀
Bruce Springsteen is from Freehold. Asbury Park is the home of the Stone Poney. That's where several Jersey musicians got their starts, including Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bonjovi, and Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes.
I think Bon Jovi was originally from Perth Amboy which is also on the North Jersey Coast Line
[21:48] More like Perth Am 'oh Boy' station!
Tim - If you are inclined to catch horn activity in Asbury Park one day - let's meet for lunch at Frank's Deli!!!!
Once upon a time, there was Pennsylvania R.R electric commuter trains from NYC to Washington D.C. At Washington D.C. the long distance railroad trains of the Pennsylvania R.R switched from electric locomotives to steam locomotives south to Florida especially Miami.
I'm pretty sure that the main purpose of the new bridge over Raritan Bay is to replace the existing bridge after it was damaged by 'SANDY.' The new bridge is also higher, avoiding some surges.
This was such a wonderful posting. A fine tribute to what we still have in New Jersey railroading. This & your previous posting of the Sunday Hoboken festivities simply demonstrates how being a railfan unites all of us; no matter who we are and/or our heritage. Watching this was such a joy! For the record, my name is Peter. I have enjoyed your previous posts so very much. And, I thank you for sharing this post along with your friends!
I appreciate your kind words. Thank you. There are many fine railfans out there that I enjoy bonding with.
1:32:29 I'd LOVE to hear that K4 passing Over the crossing.
I was in car 3
You might have to reupload the video because the highest quality I’m able to see it in was 360p
When a video that length is first uploaded it’s slow to upgrade to a better resolution, but it should be OK now
👍🚂🚞🚞🚞🙂
Any word on if the person hit by the Arrows was a RailFan trying to get a shot?
I don’t think it was a railfan.
Do I hear Miles in Transit and his crew in the background?
With bells on... or horns? 🤪
Rooting for the Phillies to beat Miami.
1 more!!
What was that protest about?
Trying to get a contract negotiated
