Transplanted Yankee fans taking the train to Anaheim from LA's Union Station are doing a major double take this week. Sitting right there on Track 12, next to the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner, is a full, 8-car New Jersey transit train. Some ex-New Yorkers thought they were hallucinating.
According to New Jersey Transit spokesman Dan Stessel, the agency recently leased the train to LA's Metrolink System. NJ Transit has extra trains due to the arrival of new double-decker cars. The agency even earns some revenue on the deal.
The train showed some wear from its cross-country trip -- it was dirty and at least one window was broken.
