This afternoon, 114 towed 217 plus train out of Danbury. From the yard, train backed though the link track, then reversed direction and headed south towards Norwalk.

Yesterday Danbury mini was 128+3, and around 10:00 P.M the 114 was in Stamford on track 32 hitched to AAR inspection train. Also the 115+3 was sitting in the lower yard at that time.

The 11something (one of the two Brewster mini's) made an appearance to Wassaic tonight as the electrics they gave us at GCT for a through train wouldn't have made it much further than CP154.

I didn't get the exact number because I really didn't care. I was at the south end and it was my go home train. Thinking about it, even if I wasn't at the south end and going home, I still wouldn't have cared much more (if at all).

saw the 125 on the Wassaic shuttle headed north thru Patterson around 830 pm. It still has the Metro North colored air conditioner

That was not long after we tied down the other one in Wassaic yard.

It must have come from Wassaic or somewhere else
I believe it came from somewhere else.

113 was on 1873
guy, there's no set trainset for anything anymore now that the Danbury mini and Waterbury sets all end up serviced in Stamford. Whichever is ready goes when needed. When will you get it?? The 115 was shopped for HEP issues the other day and the 113 sh*t the bed on 1806 today in Sono and needed to be towed to Stamford by the Stamford switching crew with the 115. We had the 130+3 on 1873 today. The 128 is a POS hopefully that gets shopped next as it's had acceleration issues for months now.
