what does Metro North have against sweet sounding horns, they all make me cringe when they honk in these videos. is it just coincidence and all the trains with those horns just happen to pass right then?
@davidmagill1 in 1991 the slumbercoach was moved to the BOS section (at the same time the Lake Shore moved to NYP), meaning that this video likely predates Amtrak vacating Grand Central.
That spivvie whistle is so cute lol

FL-9 #489 had a head-end genorator in 1992 so a turboliner was needed.
