Can anyone confirm that train 6610 to Port Jeff only has one coach and one cab car??? This was just taken on the TrainTime app. I know its a Sunday during off peak hours, but I would think the lowest amount would usually be two or three cars with a cab.

That equipment operated west as 6609, which had 4 cars. It's likely just an error with the TIMACS system. The train's info wasn't properly put into the system.

Just caught this on TrainTime. Could be an error, but it looks interesting. Can anyone confirm if this is the correct consist?

What did you use to confirm this? I'm a bit skeptical since a 2 car train went to Oyster Bay once a few years ago.

Crew 45 covers train 6684 in the MLX-W v2 crew book. The train they operate prior to 6684 is 6683. I checked the TIMACS report for train 6683 on 4/24 and it lists cab car 5013 with engine 407, operating with 4 cars. The next train they operated also listed cab car 5013 with engine 407, operating with 4 cars.
