Thought they were northbound... had been seeing them tacked onto Amtrak equipment over in the Lexington Avenue yard and made the (retrospectively stupid) assumption that they were going back in freight service.Ridgefielder wrote:Probably being handed off to CSX in Springfield for return to Baltimore via Selkirk and the River Line.They were coming from Albany...

Even better, go to rail museum in Connecticut. Sooner rather than later, the four Genesis units painted in the NH colors will be repainted. The Coke Zero paint scheme doesn’t look that bad.I saw 229 just the other day in Poughkeepsie

But it might be confusing to some who are New.I doubt it would be confusing; As long as the schedule and the station signs say the train pulling in is scheduled, and the railcars behind the engine are CTrail, nobody will be confused. I do wish they had kept one GP-40 has a heritage unit; They really wore the McGinnis livery best. And now SLE is stuck with the disgusting P40s!
