Probability of Riding a Multilevel on the NJ Coast line |
|
|
Posted by PATHman on Thu Sep 2 19:12:18 2010 It's been a while since I've railfanned. I'm off on next Thursday. I want to take pictures and make a video of a Multilevel on the NJ Coast line. I'm going to take PATH to Newark and then take NJ Transit to Aberdeen-Matawan. The train I want to take leaves Newark at 2:36 and arrives at Aberdeen at 3:13. I'll take the 3:20 train back to Newark. Before I spend $20 on the round trip, I'd like to know what are the chances that either train would be a Multilevel. |

There is a 99.9999999% chance that the 2:36 train will be a multilevel. 2303 is a Hoboken diesel going all the way to Bay Head and it's been using MLV's for months. |

To add: I'd suggest taking PATH to Hoboken and getting the train there, avoiding the free-for-all in Newark. The only problem with that is this train usually makes 3-4 stops between Hoboken and Newark to pick up/drop off employees at various spots along the route.2303 departs at 2:13. |

I'll have to spend extra money, but I really want to make a video of it crossing the bridge between Perth Amboy and South Amboy. This is a good idea. |
