     Does anyone know the schedules of SEPTAs locomotive hauled trains vith comet coaches departing from Trenton transit center or Jefferson Suburban or 30Th St. I have never been on one before its always the multiple units.

With the Silverliner V's out of service, the chances are just about any train shoiuld be a locomotive push-pull train on the NEC.  I suspect what few older mu's are usable will be used on lines like Chestnut Hill and the Airport. And West Trenton.

The entire fleet of Silverliner IVs is still around and run on all routes.

He almost certainly meant 'Silverliner V'.  SEPTA doesn't have Comet Vs; only older 'remaindered-out' cars from NJT and MN.
