Atlas - HO Scale - Bombardier Multi-Level Cab Car - DCC Ready - New Jersey Transit (NJT) #7005 - Silver w/NJT Multicolor Scheme (SKU 150-20004805)

Available On: August 1, 2018

Concurrent with its purchase of ALP-45DP locomotives, NJ TRANSIT also purchased 62 multi-level cab cars from Bombardier Transportation. These cab cars are used on the opposite end of the train from the ALP-45DP locomotive to facilitate “push-pull” operations, where the engineer in the cab car can control the locomotive pushing from the other end of the train. A cab car provides an engineer with all of the same controls as a locomotive cab, allowing the train to reverse direction without turning around. Cab cars also include all standard locomotive safety features, such as a horn and bell.

The multi-levels’ fixed 2-2 seating arrangement provides ample legroom and maximizes passenger comfort while increasing capacity. All of NJ TRANSIT’s cab cars also include toilets. NJ TRANSIT’s multi-level cab cars have a capacity of 127 commuters (approximately 17% more than its single-level counterpart, the Comet V). These cars routinely operate over most routes on both the Hoboken and Newark Divisions of NJ TRANSIT, carrying more than 300,000 commuters daily to and from destinations all over New Jersey and into New York’s busy Penn Station.

The Atlas multi-level cab car, produced for the first time in HO scale, is the first commercially available passenger car model offered with DCC-ready capabilities.
