I wonder why Amtrak does not use the push/pull techinque with its Empire Service trains (New York to Albany). I think they could...all they need to do is put a Metroliner Cab car on the back...kinda like the Keystone trains.
Well Metro-North and the Connecticut DOT are indeed partners since MNRR goes up as far as New Haven on the main route/Northeast Corridor and Waterbury, Danbury and New Caanan on the diesel branches. These Gennies were painted in the old New York, New Haven and Hartford scheme as a tribute to the aforementioned railroad.
Hey didn't GE own NBC as well?

Genesis 200-227 are in the Metro-North blue and silver with red trim, while 228-231 are in the old McGuiness New Haven Railroad red, white and black.

P32 200 doesn't exist ;) 201 is the first P32 for Metro-North.

I honestly do not recall. I might have, but since I never followed the names of the Shoreliner Is and IIs, I cannot remember.
