How many diesel sets are being run on a daily basis on the main New Haven line?
I know that (and the Metro North Commuter's Journal won't let us forget) that 1529 and 1560, which make stops only between Fairfield and New Haven and express the rest of the way to/from GCT, are consistantly diesel sets, but I see at least 5 diesels pass my train in the morning and evening and they can't ALL be Danbury trains. Are the rest of them scheduled to any specific route, or can they end up anywhere in the pool? I've only ever once gotten a diesel train going reverse peak, and that was the now retired 4:23PM out of Stamford back in 2003.
