Nice stuff, Bob! I remember back in the day seeing one GG1 or one E60 pull 12 cars.

kind of ironic that the NJ Chamber of Corruption used Amtrak to go to Washington (presumably to get more corporate welfare or stab the middle class in the back again) when their boy Christie destroyed the most important Amtrak project east of the Rockies.

The stupid project that Christie properly cancelled was not an Amtrak project. It was a NJ Transit project that would not have benefitted Amtrak. If it had been completed, Amtrak still would have had to build two additional tunnels.

The extra engine was because Governor Christie was on board.

I don't know which neighborhood it is, but I take the 11 or 36 trolley just past USP (formerly PCP&S: University of Sciences in Philadelphia; Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science) to 47th Street (or 48th or Grays Ferry) and walk three blocks (south)east onto the bridge.

Why do they get Amfleets? Make the regressives ride on the Comet IIIs their governor's policies have sidelined.

Nice shots. I'm going to be down there next weekend for the Super Saturday trolley charter. Looking forward to getting lots of trolley action.

But one question...."Where's the freight????" If we're still allowed to post the word "freight" here.

I think Grays Ferry is on the other side of the Schuylkill.

Christie didn't order the Multis. In fact his hard line on NJT capitol projects would have probably prevented their retirement in the first place.

Professionals planned ARC. Nazis and foamers shot it down. I never worked for a railroad. I defer to the PROS. Commuters don't have time for 3 seat rides, they needed ARC.

Foamers favored the plan devised by professionals. They opposed the stupid stub end line to Macy's basement. Christie's decision, correct as it was, was not influenced by foamers.

I thought he did. WWII was the beginning of end of the British Empire. Scotland might go next After that, maybe Wales?
