NJ Transit Yesterday

[Oreius]

Yesterday, I went to Bridgewater NJ to attend a Somerset Patriots ballgame. The ballpark is right next to the stadium, and, in my mind, you "never pass up a train station." So I walked over to the station and filmed an incoming NJ Transit. The locomotive looks like a Siemens Charger. I believe the Raritan Line does offer a few one-seat trips to/from NYP. However, I don't believe this train was one of them as I did not see any third rail shoes. I did see, from a distance, a train of the double-deck cars NJ Transit uses on their Trenton Line.

Back in 2011 we used the Raritan Line to go from Plainfield to NWK - the ride was quiet and comfortable even though the train got a bit crowded.

It is an ALP45DP. It has a pantograph so does not need third rail shoes. It can change to electric mode powered by catenary and can go into Penn Station. And it has nothing to do with Siemens. It is a Bombardier product.

I also think the Chargers look significantly better than those.
