Fred G Posted July 3, 2009 Share #1 Posted July 3, 2009 Since Train 86 was almost 2 hours late, I'm guessing this is AEM7 916 towing the HHP-8 658. And of course some regular New London goings on, train-wise. These and more photos in my album Thanks for looking, your pal, Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmcconnell Posted July 3, 2009 Share #3 Posted July 3, 2009 Interesting, I never knew that they replaced all the Amtrak markings on 840 and replaced them with Connecticut Commuter Rail logos. I guess it's (somewhat) permanent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(New Haven Line) No, I must have previewed my response but never sent it. It's the Shoreline East, which operates primarily between New Haven and Old Saybrook. The train you see here is the one train that travels to New London and arrives at 19:40 and leaves at 19:50, or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metsfan Posted July 7, 2009 Share #16 Posted July 7, 2009 Nice!! :tup: That same HHP8 and that same AEM-47 were involved in another tow job/late train a few months ago. The -47 was sitting about a mile up the line at rahway waiting to get the green to move in front of the disabled train, though i think they may have had to pull it back past the one interlocking first. My (NJT) train was delayed because it had to go around a 3 car rescue train that was going to bring pax back to newark. We had to skip 2 stops also. Very odd happenings that day. :confused: - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaback9 Posted July 8, 2009 Share #17 Posted July 8, 2009 Nice shots Fred! Sometimes the quickest way to move equipment is throw it in another train, don't think thats the case here but I have seen it done with pans dropped and the unit off.
