The ALP-46 is a United States Train Sim World electric locomotive that New Jersey Transit (NJT) uses on its electrified system. It was designed by ADtranz and built in Germany by Bombardier and based on the DB BR 101. The ALP-46 is unique to NJT, but it shares the same basic shape and technology as other Bombardier electric locomotives used in Europe.
Here are some features of the ALP-46:
- Size: 64 feet long, nearly 10 feet wide, and weighs 99.2 tons
- Engine: 7,100 horsepower engine with a top speed of 100 miles per hour
- Capacity: Can accommodate up to 12 single-level cars or 10 bi-level cars
- Routes: Used on the Northeast Corridor, North Jersey Coast, Morris & Essex, and Montclair-Boonton lines
- Features: Includes NJ TRANSIT’s in-cab signal system
The ALP-46 replaced the ALP-44 locomotives, which were retired by 2012. The ALP-46A is a newer version of the ALP-46 that can pull longer train lengths and accelerate better than other NJ TRANSIT locomotives.
