I was  told by a knowledgable lister that the non-rebuilt Comet I's (with the 
lower  doors) were officially retired right before the New Year. The rebuilds 
and cab  cars will last a little longer until critical mass is reached with 
the new  cars.

<sigh> So modern and new when they arrived on the EL. And  to tell you the 
truth, they really haven't "aged" in terms of looks. And they  did manage to 
survive 35 years in service!

I marvel at the 5100 ( the original  cab car ) every time I see it.  Your 
right Paul, they marked the arrival of the modern ( long over due ) era on  the 
EL. If ever there was a car ( coach ) that should be preserved, the 5100 ism  
IT.  I hope someone, some how, gets this accomplished with NJT.
