Well...The 231 is now in service and the last of the rebuilds. Is there any need for this topic to continue?

Once 1894 gets to Danbury tonight/early morning with the 129+3, crew and equipment are deadheading to Stamford to tie onto a maxi and tow it up to Danbury to fill out morning service.

FL9AC, was that you at Bethel about 7:40 Friday night? Joe D If you're looking for me in Bethel during the week I go through 3:23PM, 6:14PM, 6:48PM, and then 11:27PM those are station times at Bethel so through town would be a few minutes off from that. Otherwise weekends it's 4PMtil the last train.

Shot of me taken by contributor Greg Grice Wednesday night at Commerce street.

First it followed 1888 (me) up the Danbury Branch and back down before making a round trip on the New Canaan.

Metro north inspection cars 1,2, and 3 bracketed by BL20GH 130 and P32AC-DM 217 on the fuel pad in Stamford this evening. Looks like it's on geometry train duties NHV line.

If it was the shuttle with BL20GH that was probably me . I try and feather the horn especially late at night.

The PMMO with 104 was in highbridge late last night setting out a car for "work extra 402" to take to destinations unknown.

5391 out of Stamford last night had the 127 solo for GCT. Also the 126+3 mini encountered issues on the Danbury mini and ended up swapping for the 130+3 currently on the branch as of last night. The 113, 125, and another unit were all on the fuel pad in Stamford as well

106 came up to Put Junction light this afternoon to pick up a disabled maxi. Train will deadhead out sometime this evening for Harmon.

Natural selection is the answer...can't fix stupid just thin the herd. If everyone paid more attention and dusted off that common sense....this stuff wouldn't happen but with smart devices and technology making life easier, it's also making people stupid. Crossings have been the same design basicall...

Haven't seen a stop and warn in this location in a while so info is slightly incorrect. As for speeds it's better than MBS as speed was 20 from Danbury up to Sperry rail...now it's 20 from Danbury platform until halfway from East Liberty to Taylor Street then it becomes 40 up to MP 21...used to be 2...

110 has been on the Danbury shuttle for a few days now. Been months since she's been on the road but runs pretty good. Still someone putting wrong headlight/ditchlight bulbs in so originally couldn't see sh*t but that's been remedied..otherwise runs good. Wish mechanical read service manuals or foun...

Unoccupied "control cars" are ridiculous then the public cries there aren't enough seats and blah blah blah. If not for the motorist who decided to stop on live tracks the railroad would've continued with a "normal" day of business. Lets not place blame on railroad like everyone ...

Yesterday Ammo had the 113 but it was sidelined for whatever reason. Pmmo came in to find the 126 as their office for the night.
