It's only a matter of time before they do.

Hmmm...something tells me that PL was on there by accident
The next day, 2309 had an RVL set (4201-5 CII-6056)
Perhaps the sets got switched in HOB by mistake?

A PL42 went west down the NEC yesterday, passing through New Brunswick around noon. Couldn't get the locomotive number, but it was pulling two C5s with the cab car being 6017.

Going to the Atlantic City Line? Imagine what would happen if it breaks down there.

Are you sure it wasn't 1 of the 3 Ex Amtrak P-40's? They painted them up so close that if one flashes by fast its hard to tell-supposedly we will start "AC Specials" similiar to the buses. Theres a P-40 at Raritan- we are receiving familiarization training. And if the band your in starts playing different tunes, I'll meet you on the dark side of the moon.

It helps, but i may have to spend some time at Kingsland to get a overhead shot. I'm trying to see which model 48" fans are used so I can get the appropriate cannon and co. ho fans for a model.

Which ho model would you be refering to?

I don't know if he's referring to any model but heres a PL42 Model thats coming out.
