Interesting thing I noticed on the comet V's, the one door in the cab end of cab cars can only be opened on High-Level platforms, which is different from previous designs. Anybody else realize this?

Yesterday I got to see a few interesting trains in Short Hills. Including:

3 car train for murray hill with 2 cab cars including Comet V Cab behind locomotive "F" end facing rear of train (Note above observation).

2 Diesel Powered trains, 1 with all Comet I equipment. (Rare on the M&E)

Basically got to see every generation of Comet equipment, ALP-44's, 46's, and GP Diesels. :D B)

Sounds like a cool day of train watching. I will be up in Summit in a few weeks. Plan to do a little myself. :)
 
Sounds like fun, another good place for train watching (NJ Transit) is Hoboken Terminal. Summit should have a lot of action considering its the stop before the Gladstone Branch splits from the Morristown line. Where are you from anyway?

Have fun. B)
