Is there one line where there more likely to be utilized on? I'd like to get photos of all the engines, and I am missing a few. Any information would be appreciated.Just go to Hoboken. They all end up there sooner or later.

They don't frequent one line more than any other. They go wherever they go. A train that runs trips on the M&E will also run trips on the PVL, ML or BL throughout its normal daily cycle. They don't set aside specific sets of trains for specific lines. Go to Hoboken and you will see whatever is currently in service just like Cruiser said.

That was during the end of rush hour on the same day.
