New Jersey Transit has appointed James Sincaglia senior vice president and general manager of rail operations.
Sincaglia has worked with the agency for 26 years with roles in the bus division, the Rail Operations Center and system operations. He served as the deputy GM of transportation from 2015 to 2020, at which point he began leading rail operations in an acting capacity. He’s credited with successfully implementing the agency’s positive train control project, as well as the full restoration of the ranks of NJ Transit’s locomotive engineers, leading to better on-time performance.
“Jim has been instrumental in guiding us through some of the most innovative projects and industry-leading technological advances,” said NJ Transit President and CEO Kevin Corbett in a press release. “I have full confidence in Jim’s ability to handle the challenges associated with keeping our rail system moving each day with our customers’ best interest in mind.”
Also this week, NJ Transit agreed to purchase 25 additional multilevel III rail-cars from Alstom to increase capacity for the Portal North Bridge Project. Under its original contract with Alstom in 2018, the agency ordered 113 of the multilevel rail cars. The 25 additional cars will include five multilevel cab cars and 20 multilevel trailer cars, three of them with restrooms. The purchase allows for more capacity at peak hours and also increases top speed to 110 mph.
