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.

Tired of his dark dominion, swung the fiend
Above the rolling ball in cloud part screened,”

And my body laid in grave,
Ere a rusty stock o coal-black smith
My maidenhead should have.”
