Railfanning during the 40th anniversary of New Jersey Transit at Rahway! Featuring F40's & Amtrak

Recorded on 9/30/23. Happy new year! We are kicking off a brand new year of 2024 with New Jersey Transit this year! Last fall, me, my Dad and Big Butt Bear attempted to score some tickets to ride the New Jersey Transit 40th anniversary excursion train. This was a train that operated from New York to Bay Head and back to Hoboken. The train started with two ALP-46 electric locomotives at New York Penn Station following an engine change to the two New Jersey Transit F40's at South Amboy for the remainder of the trip to reenact the old locomotive switch at South Amboy where electrification used to end. Unfortunately the tickets sold out within ten minutes of going on sale so we had no hope of making it onto that train. Instead, we ventured out to Rahway for a few hours and make the 40th anniversary excursion train our main catch of the trip. Boy did things get interesting fast! A trespasser was struck at Elizabeth Station which is located two stations north of this station. Wait until you see what happens in this video! This video also contains plenty of Amtrak trains including some Keystone Corridor trains. There is so much going on in this video that you do not want to miss out on! Enjoy!
