I have been railfanning at Riverdale and Yonkers for quite some time now. I prefer Riverdale though because express trains and Amtrak just blow right by. By me spending more time here I have studied the station a lot and was there when they were fixing it. There is something about the tracks though that keep me thinking. In between the river and the New York bound platform there is a track that is just well, "dead". What I mean is there is no trains being used on this track. They look well maintained but going north lead to no where but tall bushes. Going south they continue to go as far as I can see from the station. In the past 12 years I have only seen two trains on these tracks, both times non-revenue equipment. When was the last time these tracks were used for revenue service, if it saw any and for what purpose were they used for? Here is something random, a couple years back I was staring the tracks down for about two minutes and I heard noise and turned around and to my surprise it was a train of M2's heading towards GCT, small world eh?
