I believe that middle flared area is where the dynamic brake grids are located.They were supposed to be on last night but I guess Q70128 was cancelled.

Greg,
Q701 did run last night, they had like 100 cars, but hit the defect detector coming down on Metro North. I think they and Q430 did a swap around Peekskill. Sometimes those two trains run combined with both garbage and general merchandise. There was no Q431 I believe last night.

Signed off
Yeah I witnessed that and felt really bad for the conductor who had to walk the train in that wind! I thought that was just Q431 though. I'll be out again tonight.
Did CSX trip 1 of the 3rd rail detectors?

Yeah. Hit the detector at Manitou, appeared to be a false alarm. The crew changed with the NB where they stopped and continued south after about 45 mins.
You're just feet away from the riverbank there,no fun in winter weather.

Nope. Crews have been getting familiarized since Friday
I'm sure it'll be a while before they start venturing onto the Joint Use Premises.
Will these units take a trip to Morris Park and get their ASC gear tested and oked for use on LIRR?
