It makes sense that NJT would assign it to this line.

YEs, VERY nice to see this heritage locomotive assigned here.... Good also to see pictures of the Atlantic City line. Question - how many passenger cars does the Atlantic City Line usually operate with? I would think that even three cars would be more than enough????? I fear for the future of this line, but it might be safe since it can be used as a political football between north and south Jersey. But the ridership is certainly much less than all other NJT rail lines..... It needs at least a seasonal extension to Cape May though!!!!

Transit usually runs three-  or four-car trains.  Train 4617 had three cars, two open, each less than half full.

Nice to see the unit on "home" rails.  It was mentioned in the NJT open house flyer handed out at Hoboken a few weeks ago that the 4202 would be down on the AC line soon.  Now I have an excuse to head south for a change.

So there would be extra capacity (e.g. Comet passenger cars) running on the Atlantic City train sets........Hmmmmm.........

Why can you call it a heritage unit when it is not a number PRSL ever used and name size is wrong as PRSL never had the name on cabinet doors as it was on a name strip panel on the top edge of body.  The WJ&S and it lessee PRSL used the 60xx series.
