Are the NJT ALP45DP's is service or waiting for a tunnel to be dug?Are the shaking out any bugs? Can they work with NJT Multilevels? They are apparently in service, but running out of Hoboken. Whatever bugs they have are being shaken out. They were designed to work with MLVs. Are they any better then the LIRR DM30's for power, reliability and fuel consumption? They run on overhead wires instead of third rail; so far, their reliability out on the road is still being observed. Power-wise, they have over a thousand more horses in diesel mode than the DM30ACs, but they also have double the number of cylinders. They are apparently NJT's thirstiest hogs while in diesel mode. They can run with all Comets and MLVs. |
