Remarks & Notes 
“Off the PATH but Not Forgotten”

On the morning of April 5, 2025, GE 45-tonner CMTV-1 sat boarded up on a track panel, surrounded by a sea of miscellaneous equipment at Charlie Arment Trucking’s lot in southern Massachusetts. Originally rebuilt by Silcott Railway Equipment from a standard GE 45-ton switcher, it was narrowed to eight feet and shortened to ten feet high. Designated CMTV, or Construction Management Tunnel Vehicle 1, it was used by contractor Yonkers Contracting under Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) for tunnel reconstruction following the September 11, 2001 collapse of Tunnels E and F between Exchange Place and the World Trade Center. In this role, CMTV-1 operated in extremely tight clearance settings, with a modified cab and roof to allow access in the excavation and reconstruction zones. Looking ahead, Charlie Arment Trucking, which purchased the locomotive some years later, plans to refurbish it and put it into service as their yard switcher once one of their lots is completed and connected to the national rail network, giving CMTV-1 a second life in active switching operations.
