What station?

Dual Us&s teardrop bells with 8 in lights you can’t beat it

I see no reason why these Arrows need to be replaced. Nobody cares about these classic trains, do they? 😭 I grew up with these cars, and knowing that these will be replaced by those ugly double dickers...err...deckers is too painful for a nostalgic person like me. Call me "old-fashioned" all you like. I hate progress. I hate what NJ Transit did to the classic Comet-car trains. The Arrows are the last of the vintage trains. Screw you, NJ Transit! 🤬

Unpopular opinion but the Uboats sound terrible lol. Rough like its about to throw pistons and rods. Ive always been partial to NJT GPs, which are fantastic sounding engines. Like the old E/F EMDs and Alco FAs.

Your footage of the Gladstone Branch certainly brought back memories. Students from Peapack and Gladstone were issued rail passes in order to commute to Bernard's High School, and those of us who lived in Bedminster or Far Hills also took the train when coming home from after-school sports and other activities. I remember running from the school to catch the train while laden with bags of athletic equipment and school books, all the while desperately praying that I wouldn't miss it. It was a half-mile run or walk from the school to the station. After arriving in Far Hills, I had over a mile walk back to our house. It's no wonder that I never weighed more than 130 pounds!

Not unusual to get 50+ years out of rails cars. Staten Island Railway still uses R44 cars from 1973 in daily service. I am surprised these cars still have Erie Lackawanna livery and not NJT or Conrail.

NJ Transit trains of today don't hold a candle to the trains of yesteryear. The trains in this video were, in my opinion, far better than the modern trains they have today. I may sound like a sentimental old fool, but I really miss the earlier trains from the #GoodOldDays. I keep wishing to go back to when these trains were in operation. The 1980s were my childhood, and so were these trains.

In the early 80's I would commute to Hoboken and then take the PATH trains to Manhattan. My dad rode these for years from Maplewood NJ and I remember going to Hoboken and then taking a ferry boat to lower Manhattan.

Eastbound commuter trains M-U approaches with horns 8:26 8:51 24:31 26:52

it makes me happy watching all this old equipment roam the rails it's a shame that all they're gone now

Great video from back in a bygone era. I've witnessed several steam trips over NJT over the years, from C&O 614 and NYSW 142, but never saw this one. Thanks for sharing.

I wish there was a video shot when the line power was DC. with those great EL&W mu’s but this one is fantastic. He points out the Montclair single track and remarks there are plans to tie it into the Booton line which was completed Sept 30,2002.

The heavyweight Pullman private car on MO-1 is DOVER HARBOR, owned and operated by the Washington DC Chapter, National Railway Historical Society (DCNRHS).

Sounds like a PRR 3 Chime whistle, sounds like a G5 and a K4!

Historical masterpiece of railroading, hope this always is preserved

Refurbished

This sure was an epic moment for 425. Though it's a shame something like this will never be repeated.

Wow ! You have some amazing stuff!! Sadly, that can probably never happen again. I think everything needs to be PTC now. 😢

Nice EMD F unit!!

40:55 "OH BIG RED!!"

No, no, no! Never use the restroom while at the station!

Metro North New Haven M2 MU Cars were about 15 years old at this time,so NJT had to catch up fast replacing these Lackawanna MU Cars

Does anyone have this with the commentary still in? I can't find it anywhere

Considering that Pullman and General Electric built these in 1929 and 1930 and that they are shown in this video 54 years later in 1984 is a testament to their build quality.

The teardrop bell on a side mount is rare

My favorite NJ Transit locomotives are the F-40PH-2CAT, GP-40PH-2B, GP40-2, ALP-44 (even though they’re retired) and the ALP-45DP and ALP-45A. Gotta love Diesels of New Jersey Transit or Jersey Diesels, thanks for this historic footage man. Everyone gets to see the locomotives that once ruled New Jersey Transit rails.

i built this in a roblox game called ro scale sandbox, it turned out pretty good

I do like how they stabilized the cars nowadays from how rocky they used to be.

is it safe to do this with a phone or is it too light

are those old traction motor sounds they have

Thanks to their repaints in the early 50s, when EL (the worst thing to ever happen) was created in 1960, they stuck a erie next to the true name. The 2's became 3's on the sides but many headlights remained unchanged. So even in the 80s that crisp DL&W stayed true even if a false 4 letter monocoque was tagged on

Wow! I’ve never heard of the Lackawanna Electrics. I wonder if there are any left in storage anywhere.

how I hated those silver U boats!..even riding 'em while pc on a head end pass.now I miss them like an old frlend who has passed.

Love it. So much time has passed since these old motors ran on those lines that even the more modern U34CH's have been scrapped.

When I was a kid in NJ, I used to cut school in high school, catch the train in Spring Lake and spend the whole day walking around southern Manhattan. Greenwich Village, Manny’s Music Emporium, talking to the ladies on 42nd street etc.

Great shots. Nice to see the FP-7 engines--I qualified on that engine. BTW, the first part of the video is on the Morris & Essex Line. NJT's Main Line is the former Lackawanna Boonton Line from Hoboken to South Paterson, where it follows the Erie Newark Branch to Paterson, where it joins the old Erie Main Line to Suffern, Port Jervis, and west.

Oh gosh so weird to watch these train from mid 80's I haven't even born yet I was born in Sept in 1988...

For the first time ever in my life I ride this New Jersey Transit train from Hoboken to Gladstone around 2001 best memories though.

Nice I remember seeing some of these locos I was 4 years old in 1987

What about the crossing signals

Was this really 1984

567 is so quiet compared to the 645 and the 7FDL.

Easily the best video of it's kind that I've ever seen. Makes me want to take a trip to Gladstone>

What happened to 2354? Did they sell it because I haven’t seen it in forever and it’s nowhere to be found in Morristown.

These Lackawanna Electrics are so old I expect the conductor to step out and say "Willoughby Willoughby, next stop Willoughby".

Do you know which services generally have Arrow IIIs? Preferably larger sets. Also what are they getting replaced by?

Love that Jingle Bells horn salute! Awesome video!

Nothing like CP Rail, that's for sure.

Good stuff. Liked went it passed Montclair Heights with all the passengers there.

How do disabled and elderly people get on the train?
