Legal in Philadelphia too kinda but then SEPTA hates it because they think anyone with a camera out in or on their stations is a terrorist taking pictures of things to bomb.
This was the last Metro North painted FL-9 running at the time, and didn't have too much longer in service. Why put new decals on a unit that has its days numbered...
Cuz I was on 2008 in Waterbury early this month, and the HEP was shut off due to a radiator leak, so after it landed in Bridgeport, they went OOS to NH yard...
Those are shoreliner cars.

its not far in my knowlede but does that fl9 have a 3rd rail shoe(daul mode operated)
TEMPLE7D 2 years ago
It looks like it retained the shoe bar on the rear truck but I believe all of these have been made inacapable of 3rd rail at this point.

it's not illegal to take pictures of trains. some MTA police will still give you a hard time, but it is completely legal to photograph the equipment.

The 2008 has officially been retired as of Late April 2007 - so be glad you got it while you did. Next time try a fence filter.

Does anyone know if any of the rebuilt (ABB Traction) high horsepower "Starship" units escaped the scrappers torch?.

So what model is this? do i have the wrong model? At the time I took this i only knew of FL9s and nothing about F10s. Thanks
NJTrainSET 4 years ago
No, this is an FL-9. There are also FL-9m's and FL-9AC's. The question above was about the ABB rebuilds (FL-9AC's).
