NJT Arrow II 600 |
| Description: |
Arrow II 600 at the Hunterspoint Avenue station in Long Island City, Queens, New York on an unknown day in June 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I believe that these cars were in the employ of New Jersey transit. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_%28railcar%29 : In 1974, General Electric produced 70 Arrow II cars in the married pair format, classed MA-1G. These cars were built in GE's Erie (PA) shops with car shells from Avco. The Arrow IIs were numbered 534-603. They were purchased specifically to replace the ancient PRR MP54s, which were slowly phased out of New Jersey service in late 1977. In service, the Arrow IIs were frequently leased to Amtrak for off-hour Clocker trains. From June 1978 until the summer of 1979, the Arrow IIs were leased to MARC, where they bumped the last operating MP54s from service. Cars 590-591 were heavily damaged in a collision at Seabrook, Maryland on June 9, 1978, early in their MARC service, but were later returned to service. From late 1979 until 1982, the Arrow IIs were loaned to Amtrak and were used for Silverliner Service and off-peak Clockers. Upon the formation of NJ Transit, the Arrow IIs were called back to New Jersey. The Arrow IIs had been well worn during their time with Amtrak, and required a thorough overhaul. |

Arrows to New York |
| Description: |
The electrification was extended to Matawan in 1984, and MU trains were extended there from South Amboy. Thus we have the previously unusual sight of a train of Arrows rolling in from beyond what had been the end of wire. |

The new order |
| Description: |
Actually, several new orders. The re electrification of the ex DLW Morris & Essex was not completed til 1984, and the Arrow cars originally bought to implement the change were already old. Arrow III cars were on line by then. A set of Arrow II's stops where Edison era electrics once trod. Somehow they dont have quiet the same feel as the old cars. |
