Rolling Stock
All service on the Northeast Corridor Line is electric and uses either Budd/GE Arrow III electric cars built in 1978 or push-pull locomotive trains hauled by ALP-46/A locomotives. These trains are made up of Comet series cars or the new Bombardier Transportation Multilevels. The longest Multilevel trains use one ALP-46 locomotive on both ends of the train in a "pull-pull" arrangement, in order to supply adequate head-end power to all coaches without voltage drop.

Famous quotes containing the words rolling and/or stock:
“It is only when we are very happy that we can bear to gaze merrily upon the vast and limitless expanse of water, rolling on and on with such persistent, irritating monotony, to the accompaniment of our thoughts, whether grave or gay. When they are gay, the waves echo their gaiety; but when they are sad, then every breaker, as it rolls, seems to bring additional sadness, and to speak to us of hopelessness and of the pettiness of all our joys.”
—Emmuska, Baroness Orczy (1865–1947)
“I consider that a man’s brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
