The units are primary for inside GCT, IF you need horn in GCT you want it as far away from cab as possible.

I didn't have my camera on me. Maybe someone else caught it.

Both units haven't really started testing yet, so chance are you won't catch them in GCT anytime soon.

The 402 went out on another short test run this morning. Also saw the 401 sitting on the south end of the shop coupled to what looked like the 101.

Heard through the grape vine that both units started testing together during the evening hours and should be out and about tonight.

P.S: CCLG I can't right click and save the pictures you sent me, so I have no way of uploading them.

They were indeed out tonight. Caught them doing two roundtrips up and down the Harlem line before they headed back to Harmon. They were sandwiching the 101.
