Unusual Fleet Sightings

from others, there is no car or was no car at Kerite in last few weeks

BL-14 #402 towed 8 M7's from GCT to Harmon earlier tonight at break neck speeds of 30 MPH.

that breakneck speed is governed by Freight train rules, but at max speed of 30 mph due to compromise coupler. (SI17E)

Way better than LIRR's 5MPH when towing MUs

all MN EMU's have full freight style braking when being towed, LIRR cars do not have that feature, just emergency brakes.

Amtrak train 49 experienced mechanical problems on track 1 at CP 19 last night (3/7). Engine 709's pistons were on the ground inside the engine room. HTS-6 rescued the equipment a few hours later and towed it into Harmon Yard. Amtrak sent engines to retrieve the equipment and bring it to Albany.

Amtrak Extra 615 heads east up the Northeast Corridor/New Haven Line with 4 Ex-NJT P40DC's in tow for Shore Line East. My plan was to chase all the way to New Haven Yard, but it was slightly tardy and being that I had work the same day, I had to settle with two spots. Because this is now SLE equipment, I'd thought I'd post here.

Thanks, I'm going to cross-post that in the P40 thread!

B750 out of Oak Point. Everything on Metro North except for customers East of Bridgeport are served by B750

spotted a consist of M2 cars in revenue service stopped at Mamaroneck 11:23p Tuesday 4/26.
one of the pair # was 8736/8737.

That's not really unusual, the few remaining sets still see regular use.

Reported in "Unofficial MNRR" group: 111 pulling a Maxi north from Harmon to Poughkeepsie. Would that be considered unusual? I would think that would be a p32 Gennie under normal circumstances.
