AMTK 705 - New York NY - 03/15/18
Description:
On a bright, sunny and cold March day on Manhattan island in New York, Amtrak "Empire Service" train 280 has just passed under the George Washington Bridge (one of many that connect New York to New Jersey, and the GWB is part of New Jersey governor Chris Christie's legacy) as it makes its way from Niagra Falls, New York, to Penn Station in New York City - just a few miles ahead. This is the Fort Washington section of New York City, and the train is still paralleling the Hudson River as it heads south (or east, according to the Amtrak timetable). A recent series of cold Nor'easter storms is keeping Spring at bay for now, but beneath the adjacent park's bare trees, tulip and daffodil shoots are poking through the soil, indicating that Spring is not too far off. Amtrak P32AC-DM 705, a dual mode (third rail electric and diesel-electric) locomotive, is pulling this train consisting of Amfleet cars. AMTK 705 is looking very ragged at this point, and will most likely be getting repainted soon into the new scheme being applied to the rest of the P32AC-DM locomotives - the new scheme is a throw-back to the carrier's "Phase III" stripe scheme, with the addition of a large, colorful Empire Service logo to the sides just behind the cab. (New York, NY - March 15, 2018)

NS 5630 - Edison NJ - 03/11/18
Description:
Sitting on a Sunday morning in Conrail's Metuchin Yard in Edison, New Jersey, are a pair of EMD locomotives assigned to the Shared Assets (that is, Conrail) territory. As usual on Twenty-First Century Conrail, the power is split between Norfolk Southern and CSX. NS 5630 was built in July 1969 as Penn Central GP38 7702, which retained its number when PC was merged into Conrail. When Conrail was broken up in 1999, CR 7702 became Norfolk Southern 2894. The engine was rebuilt to "Dash 2" standards at NS's Juniata Shops in Altoona, PA, in March 2006, and renumbered 5630. (March 11, 2018)

CR Metuchen Yard - Edison NJ - 03/11/18
Description:
Conrail in the Twenty-First Century! The Shared Assets trackage in northern New Jersey is still Conrail territory - trains are still referred to as Conrail, the locomotives are split fairly evenly between Norfolk Southern and CSX and the signs at the yards still proclaim that Conrail is not completely gone.

A New York City-bound NJTransit train makes its stop in Edison, New Jersey, on March 9, 2018. This train, #3843 and powered by ALP-46 4639, originated in Trenton NJ. Just after the passengers had boarded, a twenty-foot long sheet of frozen snow came crashing onto the platform from the station's roof. The conductor heard the impact and turned around, then said, "We couldn't have timed that any closer!"
