New Jersey Transit's Comet IB cars started life in 1968-1969 as Arrow I MU cars, and as a result are similar in appearance to the Arrow III MUs. Between 1987 and 1989, the they were rebuilt as push-pull coaches and cabs, without the MU-related parts (such as pantographs, traction motors, etc.)

The most notable difference between a Comet IB and an Arrow III (other than the pantographs or lack thereof) is that Comet IB cars lack the center door of the Arrow IIIs. They are sometimes referred to as "Comarrows."
