Since 2002 NJT operates a batch of 29 tri-phase electrics on its network, built and delivered by Bombardier Transportation in Europe; the ALP-46 series. In 2008 and 2009, NJT again selected the German-Canadian manufacturer to supply new electrics and in two stages 36 new units were ordered. These formed the ALP-46A series. Although the mechanical part and the exterior design resemble that of the original ALP-46, the new series is technically more advanced; Semiconductor technology was upgraded from GBO to IGBT-technology, duration power increased from 5300 kW to 5600 kW and the maximum speed went up from 160 kph to 200 kph. The new locomotives are being used with the multi-level trains NJT has been adding on the Northeast Corridor and New Jersey Coast lines.
