I HAD a consist book, circa 1963, which unfortunately was lost when my garage was being cleaned out. It showed mail and express boxcars to/from the West Side terminal in Manhattan, NY that were ferried to/from Harmon where they are added to the diesels that were put on Steel Fleet trains, such as #1...

The signal outage on the 9th involved Phil and Hook interlockings, many intermediate automatic signals at stop and proceed. After about hrs from when it began about 4 pm the trains really started to stack up.

Do the new cars have both high-level and low-level platform loading capability?
If high only, they can not be used on former EL lines.

Was there a derailment on the NECR April 9 or 10th? If so, what train and where?
I notice Amtrak's Vermonter has not run from St. Albans since the 9th.
Thanks

Is the TLM being used on the Lancaster-Harrisburg M/W project?

The Crescent 20 has been sitting and all the crew says is derailment and no details.

From what I could hear on the scanner feed, train 2500 was routed from 1 to 2 to 4 at Phil. Normally a routine move from the NEC's West Chester Line. Apparently SEPTA TK 4 was de-energized that morning for repairs. All subsequent
northbounds routed via TK 5.

How often is the CARDINAL hauled by an ALC-42?

M415 derailed at Magnolia.

The ADIRONDACK and MAPLE LEAF generally change power at Albany-Rensselaer because the Canadians
are not qualified to maintain the dual mode P32AC-DMs.

Following the failure of train 2150 near Bridge interlocking on Jan 17, 13 Acela runs were canceled
over the next 36 hrs. 2150 had pantograph issues - I wonder if whatever he had was checked out on
the other train sets?

Metro-North's Hudson Line was shut down both the morning of the 10th and today
the 13th for several hrs. Trains were turning at Beacon and Cortlandt. When I lived
in Albany 1976-2001 I don't ever remember the Hudson Line being shut down for
high water.

It appears that all service on the Empire (NY-ALB), Harrisburg, Springfield along with the entire NEC
are affected.

48 this morning had 64 axles (normal 52). I observed the train from the Fairport cam and observed one extra engine, one extra coach and a deadhead sleeper on the extreme rear. It appears the LAKE SHORE has been handling an additional coach every other day since Tues the 19th.
