[edit] 954 miles way too high
The figure of 954 miles is way too high. This sounds like track-miles, not route-miles. Ldemery 22:06, 23 May 2006
This older Railway Age article cites NJT's route mileage as 471.3. 71.241.104.97 06:55, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Existing right of way foundation for new Atlantic City line
There are plans for a new NYC- Atlantic City direct line. It will presumably use existing track. Trackage exists, running northeast to southwest from the vicinity of Old Bridge to Hammonton in northern Atlantic County. Dogru144 00:49, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
That's not the route they plan to use, if at all. The route right now under consideration is the one for the former Amtrak NYC-AC service, via Pennsylvania (Trenton to Delair, then via the entire P-RSL from Shore Interlocking).
Further, there are no tracks in Old Bridge; it sounds like you are thinking of the former Central Railroad of New Jersey's Southern Division (Conrail's Southern Secondary), over which the Blue Comet train operated, which starts in Red Bank and connects to the Atlantic City Line at Winslow Junction. This is not the route being considered. 71.241.104.97 06:46, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fare Zones
Does anyone know enough about fare zones/ticketing to write a section on it? I know, for example, that you can take a 10 zone monthly from one line and use it on another. What about if your ticket is to Newark Penn or Hoboken and you want to go to NYP. How does passing through the fare gates work?Tvh2k 15:30, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] General Electric P40 Locomotives
NJT is going to be using GE P40BH locomotives for the Atlantic City Express service. These locomotives are being leased from Amtrak. It is possible that they will end up operating on other NJT lines as well. They should not be added to the roster here until NJT decides what NJT numbers they will wear.
