Your comments here if you participated in the Friday night post-dinner run on NJ TRANSIT out the Raritan Valley Line to Plainfield, and then returned to Manhattan, with the return trip being a 1-seat ride behind a dual mode locomotive capable of being in electric or diesel territories.

Phase 1 of the Fest has completed.   Seven of us met at New York Penn Station (Lou, Piotr, Preston, Misty, Penny, Sloan, and I).  While waiting for our train to be called, Steve M happened to arrive into New York from another train and said hello to us.   At Newark Penn we met Don and Dave, making us 9 people. Our outbound train was about 3 minutes late the whole way.  Our wait at Plainfield was about 10 minutes.  The inbound train picked us up in Plainfield a couple minutes late, but lost time at the Aldene Connection waiting for a switch to be set, and more time at Hunter Connection (where ex-Lehigh Valley meets the Amtrak Northeast Corridor).  Although we were about 10 minutes late at Newark, due to the magic of padding we got into New York on time.

 

Itinerary updated with Friday actual times.
