Well, what do you know. As I was walking to my car at New Haven Union Station last night, I caught a Providence and Worcester Freight train passing through the station.

After that, I'll be taking a break from the Hartford/Springfield Line. On the way, I had a feeling a storm was brewing. Sure enough, just minutes after I arrived, the rain started pouring.

    • @dock_yard1149
      @dock_yard1149 18 днів тому

      The Danbury branch is a long, curving upgrade. Rises up over 400 ft in about 14 miles between SoNo and Topstone (town of Redding). Then descends another 60 or so from there into Danbury. So the end with the 2 P&W units will pull up the hill, while the single rear unit pushes where/when needed. Both ends are crewed, this is not a DPU. The train returns back to CH with empties, clearing the Metro North lines well before AM rush.

      There are no airport-like security gates at Penn-Moynihan (or GCT/GCM). The only check might be on a train to Montreal, but that’s usually at the border and it’s an immigration/citizenship check.
