The other at CP SM to cross the river and head south on the Hudson line.
Wonder if a pair of GP38-3's could do the short tow from Newark up the ramp at Hunter to skip the runaround move there?
One end would have a AC electric. These will function I believe as CAB CARS.
The other end would have a pair of P42DC.
Now wouldn't that be wild as feck. An ACS leading a train on the Hudson line!!!
Don't forget that there is AC overhead run out to CP empire on the Hudson. No need for the P32AC-DM, which are needed for the regular trains.
The release above does say the train will be pulled by an Electric to Newark.
