The question becomes: Who in the area has enough diesel power to lease?

It would appear as though the M-8's are making appearances on the Harlem & Hudson Lines trains so that the H&H's diesel sets can be used on the NHL during the service outage.

I think this is pretty smart of MNRR to have as many trains running on the NHL as they can.

I've looked at the interior pictureso f these cars. Are there places for the seat checks? I can't see any.

They wouldn't move those all the way to the Hudson Line. The M8s are strictly testing on the New Haven Line. I don't think they have even been out of Connecticut or New Haven Line Territory.

They've been seen @ Croton-Harmon resting. They test 3rd rail on the Hudson Line.

AAHHHHHH!!!!! THIS TRAIN WENT THROUGH STAMFORD????:cry:

Indeed it did... it had to get back to NH somehow.

They look better in the daylight IMO

I can't decide whether they're stunning or ugly, because they sure are both.

Hey.weren`t they testing that on the New Haven Branch?I sworn I seen some (NJT) trains running through stamford last year.

The M8 looks great at night.When are they doing day testing?

I went to New Haven on Saturday and while I was there, I was able to see the new M8 trains. With the exception of that "eye" on the top of the front of the train, it looks great. The red and black together are hot. I really look forward to riding these trains when they go into passenger service.

Otto Vondrak on Railroad.NET caught the test train at Harrison.

Catch the pics here.

I gotta get me another camera.I live near the Stamford station and maybe one day I might just spot them sitting at the station during testing.

I thought this pic was interesting to post.

Wait.So the are already stateside? Brake problems? So they aren`t piggybacking them here I guess.It would be cool to see them on flatbed cars.
