It wasn't necessarily scheduled for an "inspection" run. It was likely the flu train going to the different work sites on the Hudson line. They were in GCT this morning and Highbridge late afternoon.

Was this the first flu train run of the season?

Yep, tomorrow on the New Haven line Wednesday on the Harlem.

[Train2009]

Is there a other geometry train run tomorrow on that line or was it only for today?

[FL9AC]
