On Sunday afternoon 4/5/09 about 4 P.M. the track along side of Rt.90 & 22 in State Line, Mass or N.Y. which I beleive to be N S track I saw a strange train I have never seen before. It may have been some type of work train but had nothing that looked like a normal locomotive but had what looked like head end cars on each end and in the middle of those had maybe 4 or 5 cars with open sides all about 75' long. The whole train was yellow and very black around the open sides which almost looked burned. this train was sitting on a siding when an Amtrack train passed by with 2 locos, a baggage, a 2 level coach [which looked new], and 4 or 5 regular Amtrack coaches. Also I have never seen Amtrack in that area before either. Just wondering if anyone knows what this may have been ? Ed
