Does anyone have any photos or videos of this unusual lease?

Apparently because of mechanical issues, everyone on train 8852 from Poughkeepsie was transferred at Croton-Harmon to an M7.

The person who posted on FB probably has them confused with the two geeps. Only the 6698 and 6699 are on loan to MNR. All of the P40s are also banned west of CP 271 by Employee Special Instruction.

Not sure this is the correct place to post this but SLE train # 3692 to New London on Saturday 1/27/24 was a P42 powered 3 car train instead of a 4 car M8 MU set.

I guess an MU set was unavailable for that equipment cycle.

I understand why the coaches are banned, but why would they ban the Gennies?
