These passenger cars featured modern lighting and climate control, supplied by a diesel with head-end power (HEP) capabilities. General Electric's U34CH locomotive was the diesel teamed up to operate these push-pull cars. The EL\/NJDOT fleet consisted of 35 cab cars, 110 \"trailer\" coaches and 10 bar cars, wearing a striking black window band with red striping on top of a brushed aluminum carbody. All cars featured automatic low doors, since high level platforms were uncommon on the EL system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1983, NJ TRANSIT took control of these operations from Conrail (EL’s successor) and the NJDOT. Between 1985 and 1987, Bombardier rebuilt 32 cab cars (three had been wrecked previously) which included high door conversions for use at high level platforms. The coaches were also rebuilt, however 61 retained their low doors while 45 received the high door conversions. Low door coaches retained their EL-delivered 1700 series numbers while the high door cars got 5700-series numbers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the early 1990s, some of the fleet was reassigned to Atlantic City service. All cab cars assigned to AC received high visibility orange and black \"tiger\" stripes on their cab fronts. By the mid-1990s, all of these cars were assigned back to their home territory on the Hoboken Division, where they regularly ran until their retirement in the late-2000s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \"Comet\" name was created by Bombardier to honor CNJ's Blue Comet train.
