Pans down, a string of brand new ALP-46 locomotives passes thru Philly en route to northern Jersey. CSX power does the honors. (Nov 2002)
On the train heading to Jungfraujoch high in the Swiss Alps. Some of the most beautifuly scenery / countryside I've ever seen.
In February 2008, NJ Transit ordered twenty seven 125 mph top speed ALP-46A locomotives from Bombardier. The estimated value of the order was approximately $230 million. In June 2009 NJT took up an option for a further nine locomotives.
On November 12, 2009, Bombardier ceremonially handed over the first two completed ALP-46A's to New Jersey Transit over at their Kassel plant in Germany. They arrived on NJT property on December 13. Locomotive 4629 was shipped by rail to a testing facility in Pueblo, Colorado, while 4630 was placed on the rails at the Meadows Maintenance Complex in Kearny NJ for testing on property and maintenance training. As of April 5, 2011, all locomotives had been delivered.
The ALP-46A locomotives produce 7,500 hp and are powered by overhead catenary. They can reach a top speed of 125 mph.
