Introduction

Atlas Gold Series 40004861 N Scale ALP-45DP NJ Transit NJT 4530 DCC Sound

The ALP-45DP is a dual mode locomotive, capable of drawing power from either overhead electrical wires or its own pair of 12-cylinder Caterpillar diesel engines. These flexible locomotives were designed to provide a one-seat commute from NJ TRANSITs various diesel-only lines into the electrified territory that leads to New York Citys Penn Station. This fulfills the requirement of not operating diesels through the North River Tunnels and within the subterranean Penn Station complex. Produced by Bombardier Transportation in Kassel, Germany, the first ALP-45DP locomotive entered service on NJ TRANSIT on May 30, 2012.
