Here’s how much longer NJ Transit’s oldest rail cars will remain in use

Would you pay $3 million to keep these old car on the rial road?

A set of NJ Transit Arrow III rail cars arrive in Millburn. The first of 113 replacement trains ordered in December 2018 are scheduled to arrive later this year.

NJ Transit’s first replacements for the venerable 44-year-old Arrow III electric rail cars are expected to be delivered this year, but they have to pass tests before passengers get to ride them.

The prototypes are the first of 113 multi-level III rail cars ordered in December 2018 after NJ Transit’s board approved a $699.07 million with Bombardier Transit Corp. to replace the existing Arrow III fleet of electric-powered trains.
