GP35 101 was sitting all Sunday with empty concrete ties just inside the Beacon Line at Beacon. I saw it there early afternoon though maybe by the evening it might go back to Croton, but it's still there. Probably Monday?

cool stuff i caught bk a few months ago ENJOY
Nice video. Nice catches of CSX and the BL14CG's. That video is one of the top results if you search "metro-north rare".

Doesn't take much to get you excited eh? The two BL14CG's are kinda rare towing a disabled bomb train, but catching both of them together isn't. They, or any Brookville have to be paired together (or with cars) right now to operate on the mainline.

Wrong forum...BL20GH's aren't part of the work engine fleet.

GP35 #105 and #102 were at the south end of the Old Harmon Shop and a other GP35 (Forget the Unit Number) at the south end of the New Harmon Shop.

#103 GP35 was outside the South end of the New Harmon Shop, #102 was running light as it entered Harmon Yard from the main line. At 4:30 PM #103 was getting ready to leave out to the main line and at 5:07 PM I caught #103 again but this time in Tarrytown running light.
