Have M-2/M-4/M-6 trains ever been used on the Harlem or Hudson Lines?

sure many of times, we use to have one train head to Brewster yard in service every day to drop a pair and pickup a pair for window modification.
they use to head up Hudson for wheeltruing etc.

No, because when I saw it, it was at Harlem 125 coming down from North White. The same consist came back up shortly thereafter as a Stamford local. Probably was coming down from the paint shop.

Plenty of occasions!! I even had the honor of even being conductor on a 7 car set (2 M-2 pairs and an M-4 Triplet) used as a GCT to North White Plains local train, and even got to turn on it for a return trip back to GCT. Plenty of puzzled faces along the way!!

What mistake?? You were right, they do hit the Hudson Line during the night for testing, mostly load tests and third rail testing. Nothing at all to be sorry for, buddy!! :-)
