Posted by Henry R32 #3730 on Sun Mar 4 01:43:53 2012, in response to Weird Sightings on the Rails Tonight..., posted by R36 #9346 on Sat Mar 3 23:40:08 2012. I took the Metro-North from 125th Street to Marble Hill. I took train #8753, the 7:08 PM train from 125th which made express stops and ended at Croton-Harmon. I was surprised to discover that the train was a diesel. Aren't GCT to CH trains primarily electric? Is that normal for a diesel to do a run entirely in electric territory under normal conditions?As was said elsewhere, they do usually run these as Diesel. One benefit is they can use the express track that has no third rail. |
