Posted by Train Man Paul : Metro-North's Best Conductor FOR ALL 3 LINES!!! on Wed Mar 28 09:47:05 2012, in response to Re: Little more info on the R-179 Bombardier contract, posted by VictorM on Tue Mar 27 09:15:31 2012. If they deliver those cars the same way they delivered the R142's they would be hauled on flat cars via CP rail from Plattsburgh to Oak Point, then across the Hell Gate Bridge to Fresh Pond, then ramped down to track level and pulled by an MTA diesel to Linden Shop and from there north along the Canarsie lineSounds like prime photo ops!!! :-) Just one problem, CP long since discontinued service to NYC, as their round trip run, CP/D&H 416/417, failed to generate any significant traffic and loading to warrant it being run. CP now would probably bring them down to Selkirk, and transfer them off to CSX for the final run down. Still, would be some prime photo ops!! Does anyone here have any photos of the R-142s being brought in by train to NYC??? |
