At 54 yrs old that engine is younger than most of the people going to AC

Flashback time! Who remembers the ACES (Atlantic City Express Service) that went from NY Penn to Atlantic City stopping at just Newark Penn on the way?

@ultragoji3358 3 года назад

The reason for the seats in the Coaches being able to flip, is to allow easier turn around of coaches in a terminal station. The 3 and 2 seating is quite unpopular, especially during rush hours, which led to them being done away in the newer double decker coaches.

NJT looks like a train museum with all of the old stuff they run.

@wallinnb745 3 года назад

The reason for the flipping seat backs is so that if one is traveling with a group, they can face one another for conversation.

NJ Transit is very utilitarian. It gets you where you need to go, relatively on time, and in relative comfort. Don't ask for more because you won't get it.

Great video!! I was a little surprised you didn't mention the former ACES train (Atlantic City Express Service) operated by NJT from 2009-2011, which offered the newer multilevel coaches, a first class car, lounge, and food service onboard as it ran from New York Penn, Newark, NJ, nonstop to Atlantic City, bypassing Philadelphia. It was extremely unpopular and low ridership forced the end of ACES. That's unfortunately part of the reason why the Atlantic City NJT line suffers today, why give the newer equipment to a line so few people ride as opposed to say their Northeast Corridor line?

Fun fact, when Amtrak took over the route, they gave you a $25 voucher for the casinos.

If you get a chance, ride NJ Transit's newer multilevel cars. They are very comfortable.

In commuter trains, flipping the seats in opposite positions allows for commuters to face each other to play cards or discuss whatever. I used to see this on the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) when I commuted to work each day from Huntington Long Island to New York City in the 1970's.

Only 12 trips each way Philadelphia-Atlantic City, not 14.

@zebulonforchion1725 3 года назад

this route was my childhood. My grandmother lived right next to the tracks in Hammonton NJ and we would take the train to Atlantic City for the beach and Phili for the Museums. I was pleasantly surprised when you took this trip. :)

When i was young I used to beg my dad to take me on this train and we rode it quite frequently simply for fun and my love of trains. It's been a while since I've ridden this line. Can't wait to see what you think of the Patco as I've ridden that's dozens of times over my life time. Great video!

@kevinjohnson3203 3 года назад

Most versions of the Comet have power outlets at the ends of the car. I think they're there for cleaning, but they run off HEP, so you can use them to charge your phone or computer during travel if you know where to look.

@ROTE 3 года назад

You should ride the NJT/MNRR Port Jervis line, it is a long and fun ride with great scenery!

@UnnDunn 3 года назад

There are usually one or two power outlets at each end of the car. You may have to search for them under the seats, and Train staff might give you dirty looks if you use them, but they are there and they work in a pinch.

Love your content... Totally binge watching your channel. Thank you & cheers! 😍🍺

I love this line so much, I use it to go to the shore in the summer all the time. Awesome video!

I take PATCO regularly to work from Lindenwold. Kind of neat seeing your channel on my local tracks. I think flip-back seats were standard on any US commuter train built prior to the 2000s. I think all the old Silverliners had them, as did the Arrows and other comets. I think they bolted them in place on SEPTA though.
