It's the Lancaster and Chester. Quite a interesting shortline with a unit grain grain, six axle power, and various other engines. They used to have a PV rebuild shop too.
I don’t think any AUers went, but I did find this video of it:So, did anyone go? Are there any pictures or ride reviews?
I went to Overbrook to photograph the excursion. It seems that it wasn't heavily traveled going inbound from what someone said. And from my understanding it was a free ride.So, did anyone go? Are there any pictures or ride reviews?
Well, SEPTA did require "Papal Passes" during the 2015 papal visit, which weren't quite the same as reservations, but were a form of capping riders. Had they wanted, SEPTA could have easily created an AEM-7 excursion ticket and offered it for sale at their existing ticket outlets. You don't need a reservations system to do that.And how do you propose Septa go about that? They don't have a reservations system. The same reason that NJT sold tickets for the ACES Service through Amtrak.

???Well, at least we'll have a few years of AEM-7AC operation out west.
Caltrain bought two for catenary testing before the EMUs arrive.
But they won’t ever use them in revenue service?Caltrain bought two for catenary testing before the EMUs arrive.On 12/13/2018 at 6:20 PM, cpotisch said:

Farewell to SEPTA, greetings and salutations from NJTRO:
So will NJT be using them instead of ALP-46s on certain trains?As TR has mentioned, Septa has leased the AEM-7's and lone ALP to NJT for now. 6 of the 7 AEM-7's went. 2302 is being used as a parts goat and has lost it's pans and a lot of other parts. 2302 was the first to be taken OOS due to Air Compressor Issues IIRC.
At this point in time it's unknown what they will be used for.So will NJT be using them instead of ALP-46s on certain trains?
So what do you think they will be used for?I seriously doubt you will see them in revenue service but it is possible.
Statistics.So what do you think they will be used for?
