Ah yes, I remember now (haha). A test??!! Nooo!! (LOL)

By the way, one of the sets are now on 1536. How I found out is the conductor biaccidentely transmitted over the radio when he was saying, "Bridgeport next stop!" We all make mistakes, and sometimes they're good ones!

This just started. For now, it seems to be random what trains they're assigned to (although they've been on 1588 for a while now).

What's the plan for ACSES/25kv testing? I hope it happens before the rate of delivery really ramps up.

Right now the main focus is just getting them in service on MN. Testing on the shoreline and into Penn Station may not happen for quite a while yet.

Is an m8 set on the 2:34 pm from grand central to new haven tomorrow???

As usual, 1521 and 1588 have a set.

I rode 1570 yesterday.

Train #1340 local from GCT to Stamford, CT had a M8 trainset and Train #1244 GCT to Harrison this afternoon both I spotted in Mamaroneck.
