  • After the success of an Remarkable Engines episode on NJT/CNJ 4109, especially after being featured on Railway Age, I was asked to cover NJT's newest heritage unit, which just so happens to be from the same class as 4109: GP40P #4101. This time, this 1968 geep has been repainted in the bluebird livery of NJDOT: a little known but vital time of New Jersey commuter railroading history. So by popular demand, I decided to follow up on 4109 by covering its sister heritage unit.

    4101 and 4109 make me extremely happy. I am fascinated by NJ's railroad history, and seeing original locomotives wearing their old liveries again is great. I hope they stay in service for many years to come. I am pretty sure I have seen 4101 many times before it was recently repainted.

    Can’t wait to see this. NJT 4101 the NJDOT. I have before and now from the last few weeks. NJT 4101 the NJDOT had Leslie SU3L, NJT 4109 the CNJ had Leslie RS3L, and 4100 was the only Ex-CNJ unit with the disco stripe and the 1st Generation Nathan K5LA for revenue service.

    It's always strange seeing 4109, because she has the same initials as me on the side. As for 4101, her livery reminds me of the old U34CH locomotives.

    I got bored a Few days ago and started looking into NJT, saw the Image of #4101 with #4109 and then Stumbled Into this Video, I watched The UTA #901 when that came out and never subscribed but Enjoyed the Video, but now watching atleast most of the 'Remarkable Engines' Videos, I saw the F40 Video and I want to Recommend Looking into Amtrak F40 #231, Its not As remarkable as Some of the Others, but it Definitely has Very Unique History.
    Good Content Non-the-less.

    Even before becoming a Heritage Unit, 4101 always won me over with that absolutely glorious-sounding bell.

    (I’m here before the premiere) Literally I was gonna tell you about 4101 when I first found out about it but I didn’t. Then again I think you found out before me as we have this coming up!

  • @nathanjiang100

    Always loved 4101 even before its repainting but seeing the new Bluebird scheme only made it better!

    I have repeatedly run into the GP40-2ph locomotives. I was at Motive Power in Boise Idaho when the went through there in 2006-07. I again ran into some while working in Indiana doing contract work for the failed Hoosier State Express. I currently have two out of five we purchased from San Louis and Rio Grande. Three were rebuilt as GP40-2s while the last two donated parts to make the the three possible. I just find it curious how I keep crossing paths with NJT in my career but never anywhere near NJ.

    I lived in Allentown PA and would occasionally ride [only] the Raritan Valley line, about 24 years ago I only remember passenger cars without separate engines.
    That's some accent you have there, just for the viewers to note, udder is what he says instead of other, there's a few other things he slips in.

    Those same GP40Ps actually did run the Hoboken division lines just as they were repainted into the disco stripe scheme. Very shortly after the repaint they did receive what I heard to be Detroit Diesel HEP Generators with 2 small cooling fans (or was it 1?).

    • @mr.conductorfromsts4204
      @mr.conductorfromsts4204 6 месяцев назад +1

      2 Small ones. Then after rebuild into GP40PH-2 it was replaced by Caterpillar 3406 HEP Diesel Generator and 1 big HEP Radiator Fan.

    Back in my day they called them 'scare stripes'. Perhaps they also scared deer off the track? Just a guess.
