Heritage Geeps on the NJT Main Line and a whole lot more. 12/21/22 

Always enjoy your vlogs! The Ramsey stop was perfect - where else could you eat, drink, stay warm, and rail fan from a single seat! Have a wonderful Christmas 🎄

Excellent video

Nice

My childhood home was on the top of hill on the other side. We used to watch trains on the other side of the track. Wow theres a crossing gate now! And the signals got moved they used to be several hundred yards north of the crossing. But that was 50 yrs ago

Cool video!!! I actually was on train 1159 that day which had the 4101 leading!!!! I got off at Ridgewood tho.

Still like the original blue NJ DOT scheme the best. And I like the brutish looks of the 4500's.

Epic winter NJ Transit & Metro North catches on NJ Transit's Main Bergen County Lines & Metro North's Port Jervis and awesome job with your commentary

4906 is my favorite

Once again, a beautiful job. Have a happy holiday to you and your family!

23:10 i saw 4903 on a trip up to Port Jervis in 2021. Still has that amazing horn

A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you Tim!

When I was in Clifton Nj I did hear Norfolk Southern Eastern Dental I was at my Dentist appointment and I like hum that's strange there not normally out on the Abandoned Railroad that ends up in Suffern NY

I lived on Hillcrest Rd. in Ridgewood, NJ (about 1000 feet from Hollywood Av. crossing) from 1966-1976) in the Erie-Lackawanna era. There were 4 tracks back then from Ridgewood Junction to Suffern, NY. Then it was double tracked to Port Jervis, NY on the old (now abandoned) passenger mainline thru the downtowns of Monroe, Goshen and Middletown, NY. Plenty of RS-3s, E8s, GP-7&9s and later U-34s when commuter trains transitioned from E-L to NJDOT about 1974 or so. I think E-L used the old Stilwell commuter coaches up to 1976. Maybe even a little after NJDOT takeover. Not 100% sure when last Stilwell disappeared from roster. I even rode on some of the six passenger coaches that E-L bought from the Santa Fe around 1970 or so. They were long distance coaches so they only had a door at one end and the seats were 2X2 and individual. Comfy and roomy! I think it was an easy (and cheap) purchase by E-L because Santa Fe and E-L long distance passenger trains both used Dearborn station in Chicago before AMTRAK. Lots of freight on that line back then using anything from FA-2s to SDP-45s! The E-L put welded rail on the Waldwick S-curve in the late 60s-early 70s, but only on the curved sections. The tangent track remained jointed rail. BTW. That storage area on Hollywood avenue was a textile bleachery up to the end of the 60s when it was forced to shut down because it was polluting Ho-Ho-Kus Brook! They used to blow their factory air whistle every morning! It was my alarm clock for waking up on school days! I hated that whistle. Also BTW. U r about 1 year older than me. In case u were wondering. I also lived in Mastic Beach, NY for 2 years in the late 1980s when I worked at Grumman in Calverton. The LIRR was using FA-2 control units and GP-40s (I believe) back then on the Montauk line. I only remember switchers on the Greenport line. Great videos! Love your insights!

Great video and commentary. I never thought of New Jersey as a mellifluous place until now!

But last year I did see Norfolk Southern on the Pascack Valley line working by Teterboro 2 GP38-2s on Norfolk Southern those trains run Local freight service to Emerson Nj

MERRY CHRISTMAS! I rather watch prototypical operations than trains around the tree.

I forgot to mention that I listen to the horns differently. I base them on vocal ranges of opera singers. High pitch I call them tenors. Low pitch I call them, baritones. And very deep, I call them bases. I live near the West Shore Line so I can have fun.

Hello Horn Guy Your train videos classic. Your comments are very educational, And I love train Horns, I collect train whistles. Small ones that you can blow, Have you seen many. Happy Holidays. Brother Ron Train Nerd Keep up the great train trackers

Happy Hornadays and a Healthy New Year ahead to you and your Family Tim. Thanks for making 2022 just a little bit better and more fun by sharing your videos and knowledge with us. Cheers!

It’s a unusual perspective unusual site from sitting inside the bar window that 2 or 3 car Constance blasted by

Interesting array of trains and motive power. Thanks Tim. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year🎄🎄

A Comet IV, a Comet II and a Comet V...now a rare sight in Hoboken Division....

actually, the ALPs are to replace the PL42s. as i am aware, NJT/MN has absolutely zero plans of retiring the Geeps and F40s.

Hoboken terminal is like the NJT version of LIRR's LI City?

At 3:11, I love those cell towers made to look like trees. Since they blend in so nicely and you made no comment, you probably didn't even notice it. I would have sent you one of my transit Christmas cards if I had contact info.

Metro North had better livery than the LIRR for a long time.

Do u know when these heritage units will be here again?

What kind of horn do you consider the "gold standard" among train horns?

Did u see French onion soup engineer

It sounds like Alex in couple minutes early in the video
