Wassaic is still running a combination of mini's and maxi's. I imaging Danbury is also.

There are three different shuttles now shared between Danbury and Waterbury due to all sets at some point laying over in Stamford during the weekdays. I saw a two car mini with the 125 as 1806 this morning in Stamford, 1881 had the 127+3 when it met me in Wilton on 1844 (230+7), and when I ran past Stamford yard eastbound the 115+3 was down in the lower yard for servicing. There is no set equipment cycle anymore for Danbury/Waterbury shuttles.

Case in point: 1981 Tuesday had 128(5?) (Dunno, it was New Haven paint nonetheless, honestly wasn't paying that much attention), and then 1974 had 115.

Out of the 3 sets being used for Danbury and Waterbury which one will run Danbury Saturday night and Waterbury all day

Do you not read? They rotate throughout the day!

Saw 115 push with 3 cars west through Darien it was from 1963

Rode the Waterbury, Danbury and New Canaan branches today. Started out on 1923 early this morning with 127 and a mini set, while 115 with another set was north of the block limit at Waterbury waiting to take 1935 down the line. Next caught 127's train again, this time on 1806 up to Danbury and back as 1847. On the northbound run, 3 meets, including 111 on the south end of a mini set at Wilton. After reaching Stamford on 1847, 127 and train went into the yard. After a ride up to New Canaan and back on an M-8 set, I caught 1924 back to Waterbury, with 127 and company out of the yard to handle the duties. Passed 115 and set near Bridgeport handling 1963. Traffic at Stamford and track work on the main put us behind schedule, and 127 left Waterbury about 20 minutes late on 1971.

I promise this will be the only instance of this, but:

#125 was sitting at Mount Vernon West yard this morning.

Any shuttle changes

Saw both 125 with 3 cars on 1830 and 111 with 3 cars on 1867
What's running Wassaic

What ever engine that's powering Waterbury it's a bus
So no deadhead toward Stamford tonight
Started with 1991 till 1988
