Hurricane Irene Damage

The MTA doesn't have to move anything out of Port Jervis. Those train all belong to Metro-North. NJ Transit can request that they be brought in but because there is no Port Jervis service to run, the equipment isn't really needed. New equipment rotations have already been figured out.

If the move is made, it will be interesting for sure. Just know that the MNRR is not obligated to bring anything to Hoboken via the NYSW. At the moment this is strictly railfan speculation that has the foam flying high!

actually due to locomotive and cab car inspections etc the equipment will be moved, one concideration is stored equipment having been vandalized in past in Port Jervis.
see cruisers comments on MNCR and NJT forums.

Two SU100's came down yesterday, with 2 SU99's scheduled to go out this afternoon. I'm told both crews should be rested by 5pm, I'm sure they'll allow some time before the second one goes out after the first one.
