Passenger Trains > A few NJT and Amtrak trains at Metuchen, NJ on 7/9Date: 07/29/20 17:50 A few NJT and Amtrak trains at Metuchen, NJ on 7/9 Author: OCtrainguy I had taken a much needed day off on July 9th. Around midday, I found myself at Metuchen, NJ, along the Northeast Corridor. The intent was to catch the freight local out ot Metchen Yard, which I did catch, and then another bonus was a text from my son letting me know that Amtrak 642 was leading train 174.
1. NJT train bound for Trenton with a dual mode and a rather clean looking Comet car 2. The same NJT with a cab car sandwiched between a pair of regular Comet cars. I just found the placement odd. 3. Amtrak train 125 A few more to follow. Date: 07/29/20 17:52 Re: A few NJT and Amtrak trains at Metuchen, NJ on 7/9 Author: OCtrainguy Continuing the photos:
4. Another Trenton bound NJT train with single level cars. 5. Amtrak train 20 6. Amtrak train 174 with engine 642 leading A video of train 20 and one of train 174 to follow. Edited 1 time(s).

interlocking. Pic #5 and the video is not #98; but #20 (Crescent). Tell tale sign is the baggage-dorm; while #98 runs with 5 coaches; 3 sleepers; diner; lounge & baggage car.

Okay thanks, I'll make the update. Via the scanner, I heard someone talking to what sounded like train 98 before I saw it, so I put two and two together.
