I saw the train this morning at Katonah this morning headed north at 10:41 AM it did had #211 on the south and #214 leading on the north end. It left Wassaic at 5:55 PM this evening for the trip back to GCT.

Reason: You don't need to quote yourself either.
I caught it somewhere on the lower Harlem on my way to the city Saturday. I left on the 8AM through-train out of Wassaic. The only reason I even really noticed it at speed was the fluted-sides on the inspection cars and the trailing dual-mode caught my eye. I'm starting to become pretty complacent as a railfan, even the BL14's in GCT are no longer as interesting to me, haha.
"That sapling that once grew just south of Wassaic may be long gone, and the Harlem Line’s appearance may have changed over the years, but for decades to come, I can count on it continuing to provide me with funny recollections"
