Anyone know where the car is going after the escursion? Gennie was facing south so maybe Harmon?

129, 208, and a few bomb coaches were in the east yard in GCT tonight awaiting a crew to head back to Brewster. Private car was nowhere to be found I'd say maybe PMMO grabbed it for interchange?

DutchRailnut:

You transposed two digits in the car number, so you looked up the wrong car.

800736 is in fact 10&6 sleeper BIRCH GROVE owned by the Cincinnati Railway Company. It was at home in Cincinnati on the day of the special train.

800763 is lounge/table car BIRKEN, which was leased from M&E Railway for use on the special train. The car owner said the Metro North special train to Wassaic and return was operated on behalf of a real estate development enterprise.

Although my reply is very late, I'd suggest it had more to do with the fact that generally speaking PV's aren't "push-pull" unless someone buys a Metroliner set.
