Saw 115 in Stamford waiting to depart as the 4:01 to Danbury yesterday while waiting for the local.
130 was back on Waterbury as of Sunday

115 has been on the Danbury shuttle since Friday. Before that it was the 113.

...currently that mini is heading up the New Canaan branch for 1712/1745 due to a shortage of electric equipment in Stamford.

125 on Waterbury this morning with some mismatched part behind the cab on fireman's side with MTA style paint.

That would be HVAC unit, and no we don't repaint it after Harmon steals it of another shopped unit.
We just be grateful to have AC.

I thought it looked like an air conditioner but wasn't about to say it if it wasn't the case - and I just thought the mismatch was amusing, I didn't expect them to repaint it :P

At 0940 today, 6/10, the Waterbury Shuttle went past the Derby Greenway heading south with the 125 pushing. It returned north at 1121 ( a bit late) with the 115 pulling.

Not the same consist because the 115+3 has been on the Danbury Branch for a while now. I had it tonight on 2881-1876 so it must have just made a quick round trip for whatever reason. I was wondering why both loco and cab car cabs had garbage all over the place....the savages got a hold of it ;).

Got an email that 1935 was bustituted this morning, maybe that had something to do with it.

Due to a late engine swap in Stamford yesterday PM after the 115+3 got back from testing on the Danbury Branch, the Danbury crew ended up with the Waterbury's 130+3. Hopefully we'll get our consist back as the difference is VERY noticeable...
