PHOTOS: SEPTA Farewell to AEM7s

Posted by chuchubob on Sun Dec 2 18:35:46 2018

SEPTA ran a farewell to their AEM7s Saturday with a quickly organized run from Paoli to Suburban Station and back. Six cars were bracketed by ALP-44 2308 on the east end and AEM7 2301 on the west end.

Switching from track 1 to track 2 approaching Bryn Mawr because Amtrak had MOW equipment on track 1 around Narberth.

end of trip at Paoli


Departing Paoli: 2308 is no longer the only ALP-44 in revenue service anywhere, as it went out of revenue service when passengers detrained.

Seven of the eight reportedly will be leased to NJ Transit, presumably for use as cab cars, while Transit's fleet is depleted by the long-delayed and now hurry-up installation of PTC. The other reportedly is junk.

That was a great trip. I found this old video about the AEM-7s while I was poking around.
