At 10:55 AM this Morning AMMO with #106 was leading a dead-Bomb Train thru Tarrytown northbound and then #106 came back southbound at 11:51 AM running light to Mott Haven.
The P32AC-DM was the 201 and that trainset was involved in an incident in Brewster yard Wednesday morning.
At Tarrytown:

The 104 is still in NWP yard today, and also saw the 103 and 106 moving around together at MO this morning. The 401-402 are working their normal ESA duties today as well.

#103 and #106 came up past Philipse Manor at 12:21 PM and then #103 came southbound at 2:24 PM in Tarrytown with the Inspection Train equipment move as the cars are headed over to the other side of the river for this upcoming Friday's Run on the WOH Inspection train.

Don't get your hopes up....it's just temporary because of the need for high horsepower at slow speed for the pl;ow train. This unit is ONLY for use on the Danbury branch plow train and will not see normal work engine pool service.

Two videos of GP35 #102 and GP35 #103 in action from this past June

Anyone saw or know what pulled the dead 5:13pm train on Tuesday? It went dead just north of Yankees.

851 died 2 cars lengths south of CP 12. The PMMO came up and towed it. Didn't get the engine number on the PMMO, 851 had the 218 engine. The PMMO coupled to the north end so I guess they towed it north and probably changed equipment at Croton Harmon.
