Apparently they had some problems getting started up out of West Trenton. I could only hear SEPTA-1's side of the conversation over my engine radio, but Frazier ended up talking them through something to get 2308 going again. Passed them at Woodbourne at 7:35 as they headed down when Scotty saw them later at Bethayres.
They must have swapped out cab cars overnight Monday or during the Monday midday period. I videoed 2460 leading the train at Morton on Monday morning...

...and then got a report that 2461 was leading Tuesday morning. Incidentally, two people almost got themselves laminated into the front of 2460 at the Morton station pedestrian crossing, missing getting hit by mere feet, and even at that point the engineer only
almost had the train at a full stop before getting the brakes released and pulling the remainder of the way up the platform. Geez!
