It would be nice if you label and set locations to your pictures, not everyone knows where this is.
Pictures are nice..

Anybody know why the headlights on two control cabs are at different heights?

9645 is the first one Amtrak converted. So I'm guessing the rest were done differently.

There's 3rd rail in the first photo and wire in the third, so it ain't Springfield!

Both were actually later conversions. 9645 is the oldest one, being the former Metroliner 800.

But neither in the second, because it is Springfield!

The first should be easy. Dual mode genesis with an M8 in the background...

And the third one isn't too hard either...

Try clicking the links. First is Yonkers (how a Metro-North guy didn't know that right off shocks me); second is Springfield MA; third is New Haven (another shocker).

1st shot, southbound on Track 4 at Yonkers, a shot in the dark at the second one, Springfield, MA, and the last one needs no shots in the dark (though it was shot in the dark) is Track 3 @ New Haven Union Station

If people don't know they can ask. I'm more critical about the high saturation levels.
