To keep it and use it as a trailer only seems like it would be a pain in the ass.

My guess is it will only be used in trail and/or local operations in Queens where ASC isn't needed...
by mikey cruz
to free up other road loco's I guess, and the second one will reenforce that.

Lets see, the NYA does not, and will not own it, no there is no more leasers comming, and it will be used trail only.

Maybe they should forgo another 38' and see if they can get that ex lirr c420 off la&l - maybe it still has ASC on it, and hey, it'd be only 3 years older than 2081.

nice to see its being used out on the road. hopefully its not just being tested out. hopefully they dont repaint it
by mikey cruz
well if it's not gonna be fitted wit ASC then I'd leave it in it's colors so it's easier to identify.

Is this the first time since the GP10 that we've seen foreign power on the LIRR? When as the last time that engine ran?
Or, were the Metra E8s the last foreign power?

They ran one of the L&I units on the same train a couple of years back. Anyone know the whereabouts of those engines today?
