My first stop on Thursday was to catch whatever was coming out of Sunnyside toward NY Penn at Hunterspoint and Hunters Point. Here is what I saw:

Looks like an Empire Service train being put into service.

That Tunnel seems like a tight squeeze:eek:. Beautiful Fred!

 

Thanks, Zach, and it sure does look like no extra room.

 

Great photos Fred! It seems theres quite a few Metro-North M7s at Arch Street....usually its 2 or 4 cars, I see about 6.

Shot of a lifetime is getting them on Hells Gate. :(

 

Thanks, Pablo; that's the most cars I've ever seen there and I'd love to catch them going across the Hell Gate or anywhere in Queens.

 

Awesome stuff!!!

 

Imagine a GG1 trying to squeeze through there!!!:eek:

Thanks Andy, and I'm sure the GG-1's used that very tunnel

 

Nice photos!!

 

Thanks!

 

Haha! Now that would be a photo!

 

Real Nice! Why is the to exposed on those engines?

 

Dunno but that's a normal arrangment for all electric Amtrak locomotives.

 

Excellent Amtrak pics!

 

Thanks, Curtis!
