READ:
Metro-North's second 40th anniversary heritage unit debuted this morning on Hudson Line train 728, running engine south, before being turned on the GCT loop tracks and run back north as deadhead train 2711. Unfortunately, at some point, the 201 would suffer a cab signal failure, thus limiting its speed to 15 mph for the rest of the journey back to Croton Harmon. Enjoy =)

It’s a wrap but what do you think the next heritage unit color will be?

From Ohio, I was at Scarborough last Friday. Too bad they didn't lauch the Conrail scheme then. Glad you got to see it!

They most likely don't realize that Conrail actually painted their commuter units this way.

*In my opinion they should have painted the whole thing blue instead of yellow in the front I don't understand why they did yellow in the front but either that it's still nice I honestly thought it was fake when it was first revealed until I saw videos of it on KZfaq I was like there's no way I guess I was proving wrong still nice that other railroad companies are honoring Conrail*

That is the most beautiful ConRail heritage locomotive I’ve ever seen on a passenger carrier it looks amazing I also can’t help but notice that the closest track to the Hudson river is out of service with extended platforms, going over it to track 2 where the train stopped for the longest while the P32AC-DM locomotives carried only the heritage colors of the New Haven but now I’m very happy to see that they’re starting to bring out the other fallen flag predecessors that make up the Metro-North commuter system

They should make either a Penn Central Or New York Central paint scheme

@Laszlo.42 10 ай бұрын

Yes it would be nice for them to do a New York Central painted unit.

@leecornwell5632 10 ай бұрын

They are definitely gonna do New York central system like they had running on the Putnam railroad line in 1958. The Putnam railroad line tracks shouldn't be never been taken down the train tracks. At all. All they had to do is leave the train tracks alone and just do the trailer along side the train tracks just like maybrook Connecticut has. God for bit if the Hudson lines has a flood again the CXS could definitely run over there where the put used to run. The last Putnam railroad fraigt trains ran back in 1982. That was a big waste of money ripping up the train tracks. Just like the 8 Thrid Avenue and ninth Ave Elevated line.

If people are wondering why there is a yellow front, this Conrail scheme is based off of the old Conrail FL9 paint scheme. Those FL9s had the yellow front.

There are at least seven P32s known to have E-Bells. I believe 201 here is the newest addition that list.

Let’s hope the Amtrak P32ACDM’s don’t get the E-Bell treatment just like the Metro North engines. Cause I like them with their GE Bells.

@FanRailer 10 ай бұрын

E bells are generally easier to maintain and don’t freeze up in the winter. If the Amtrak dual modes stick around long enough, they will also get e bells.
