Posted by Train Man Paul : Metro-North's Best Conductor FOR ALL 3 LINES!!! on Wed Nov 18 23:07:23 2009 This is the final part!! (A 56K warning has been issued!! lol) Off to Penn!! No time to waste, let's do this!!Outta Stamford, a Hippo and Tubes greets and meets at CP 233.....  Meeting a "Tomato Can" at high speed west of Old Greenwich.....  CP 223 "PIKE".....  Indicator light for the Harrison Phase Break.....  Does anyone know what this sign on CAT 156 denotes?? (This does not appear in ANY MNR Operations materials!!)  CP 216 "SHELL".....  Now this is a true first for me!! Instead of the right turn at SHELL, I FINALLY get to go left!! Metro-North ownership and control ends a short distance west of here, and we are welcomed to Amtrak New York (Metropolitan) Division territory, under the watchful control of Section A Dispatcher at P.S.C.C. (Penn Station Control Center CTEC) in New York.....  "Approach Medium" (NORAC 282).....  Damn vandal scum!! Totally tagged the Amtrak New York (Metropolitan) Division sign!! Low lifes!! >:-(.....  Manor Interlocking, diverging from Track 1 to Track 2, "Limited Clear" (NORAC 281C, bottom green flashing).....  Automatic 17.1, "Clear" (NORAC 281), Pelham Manor (there was once 6 tracks thru this stretch during the NH days!!).....  "ENABLE TILT" (Eastward at or a little west of this point, an Acela will "DISABLE" tilt).....  Bartow (City Island) Station.....  Pelham Bay Drawbridge & Interlocking, Co-Op City.....      The CSX Oak Point Running Track diverges off to the left at Pelham Bay Interlocking (left track in picture), and note the old semaphore blades still in places!!.....  Remnants of the Eastchester (Einstein Medical Center) Station, stairs lead down to Eastchester Road, another stairway out of view behind Track 1.....  Bronx River Drawbridge.....  Westchester Avenue Station (quick shot!!).....  We now begin to see a LOT of trash container COFC cars laid up along the Oak Point Running Track, and the Hunts Point Market branch diverges off behind the trash cars in the first pic.....   (I bet it smells REAL nice out here for this flagger!!) Hunts Point Avenue Station.....  Oak Point Yard, where we now find 3GS21B Gen-Sets 1305 & 1304 hustling "Da' Trash" about the yard.....   Lots of trash cars lined the tracks here so there was nothing more to see, but Amtrak MOW was out in force!!.....  "BUNGAY".....  CSX Oak Point Link diverges and heads the low route under the Hell Gate Line on the left, also far left the CSX Fremont Secondary parallels us to the Hell Gate (note the difference in Amtrak's track standard compared to CSX's).....   Welcome to the Hell Gate Bridge!!.....        (This is where I receive an ill-timed heartbreak, to put it lightly!! Just as I was getting ready to get the nice, inside-the-arch shots, my nice lil 8 GB memory card decides to have a set of write errors, and my shots went bust!! >:-( This was supposed to be THE SHOT of this set!!! I still have not mentally recovered!! :-( ) Welcome to Queens!! (NOW it decides to work properly!! :-p).....  Ditmars Blvd Station (N), as seen from the approach.....   Bowery Bay Junction (CSX Fremont Secondary breaks off on the left, "DS" signs above designate a power dead section in the catenary).....   Gate Interlocking, where we cross back to Track 2......    Now along the LIRR to Penn, passing thru Harold Interlocking.....    Sssssssssssssssseven to Main Street!!!.....  "LINE 4 WEST", "Clear" (NORAC 281).....   WHOOOOOSHHhhhhh!! (The reflection is the MNR supervisor observing).....  And we have made it!! New York Penn Station!! Track 14 for arrival!! Smooth ride!! Fast ride!! AWESOME, KICK ASS RIDE!!! :-D (with a thumbs up!!)  Another Multi arrives from NJ.....  As LIRR M-7s arrive in from West Side Yard.....  And a Hippo is at rest on Track 13!!.....  And this concludes one bad ass ride into Penn on NJT/MNR Train #3141!! Now, the train awaits the NJT crew who will take it to NJ (the MNR crew are out of view down the platform awaiting the relief from the NJT crew). Thanks so much for joining in on this little venture!! I hope all have enjoyed!! :-) |

The yellow on that Approach medium looks very red from the camera angle. Despite the 45* slant I still viewed it as medium clear...good thing they don't let me drive trains. |

It is an LED,plus considering dirt that accumulates on the lens of the signals, the fact I was behind a windshield glass, plus the amount of outside light, lots of contributing factors make it look such. I did notice that as well, but I understood why so. I think you would have saw it just fine!! :-) |

He is a good guy if we are talking of the same guy. He is moving fast too he just became a c/r supervisor 2-3 yrs ago. Shame the current guy is leaving but I guess after all his years @ MNR he's ready to go. I don't remember his name but he is a good guy too. |

I mean I know the Road Foreman must know his/her stuff in that position, but when you talk railroading with him (yes, yes, I am an F.R.N., so I pick brains and share knowledge with him!! :-D), the dude REALLY knows his stuff, and seems like it is more than an employee's level of interest and knowledge!! Not to mention he is one of a very select FEW remaining who can say they have run GG-1s!! He is well liked and well respected!! |

Also for all to note, west of Manor Interlocking, for those of you who have a scanner tuned to the Amtrak road channel, listen for the occasional sound from an equipment defect detector located just west of Manor!! "AMTRAK EQUIPMENT DEFECT DETECTOR, MILEPOST **** (somewhere between MP 18 and MP 17), TRACK 2, NO DEFECTS, DETECTOR OUT!!" |

I have refrained form commenting so far, just because it has taken this long to put my dropped jaw back into place! A slide show of the entire set,with your comments in audio, would make an sure fire AWESOME DVD.Speaking of your comments, I know you are just 'enthusiastic', but sometimes they have me wondering just how you ever passed the piss test! If you network yourself properly, could you arrange similar 'tours' of other lines? And isn't AMAZING how these wonderful SOA digital cameras somehow manage to crap out JUST in time for the beauty shots you have been waiting for? Well done, dude!!! |

Well thank you very much, Mr Lou!!! Was a pleasure bringing my ventures here for all to enjoy!! Again why must railroaders enjoy all the views?? Ever since I got into rail photography, I longed to present the railroader's perspective to all, since seemingly there are not many railroader/railfan/photographers (yep all in one!!) out here!! And yes I enjoy giving those views of what most railfans can not see from perspectives that if emulated while not being a railroader, it could get one in much trouble, and all I do is always done with one thing in mind....SAFETY!! As long as they can be done safely and in no way obstructing or affecting rail operations, I shall be there to take the shots!! :-)I do appreciate any and all compliments, and it is the good feedback that keeps me bringing more and more for ALL to enjoy!! I enjoy putting forth in the same manner the great photographers like Fred G, chuchubob, KP, JBar, and the other good photographers who submit here, put forth!! As for the piss test......I also wondered how I passed the psych test??? lol :-D And believe me the "Shot of Shots" I wanted was up under the arch of the Hell Gate, and yeah sucks how just at that time the memory card acts up prompting a "MEMORY CARD READ ERROR" message to display, and man I was pissed!! lol But I do think overall it still came out no less than my total good expectation!!! Thanks again, Lou and to all who have checked out my stuff (yes I admit, I shoot A LOT!! Snap happy!! :-D), the shows of respect and complimentation keeps me going!! It is my pleasure to share for everyone to enjoy!! Thank you Lou, thank you all!! :-) And remember my famous line throughout this photo set......"Stay tuned!!! More to come!!!"....and indeed more will come!!! :-) Thanks for all kind words and compliments from all here!! :-) |

I agree totally with Lou. I think this was the best photo series ever! No insult to the greats: Fred G, JBar and my friends chuchubob and KevinP. Those guys are photographic artists.... and, damn good ones. But you did a reportage of preceisly the kind I enjoy... technical and detailed, with all the feelings and emotions of running a train, and from the world's best rail fanning position - the head end. I followed it all along with Google too, just to see where you were at each position. Thanks Paul. |
