Bruticus Posted July 19, 2008 Share #7 Posted July 19, 2008 I like the third picture with the Engineer waving so whats the deal with those specific cars does Metro North use them because they are faster ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred G Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share #8 Posted July 20, 2008 No, they're not faster, just reliable as backup units. When you see them in service it means a regular locomotive is in the shop. Now that the new BL20GH engines are coming in, these vintage units will be history as far as Metro-North is concerned. Or whatever MN wants to do with them.
