at 1:01 what was that niose?

[ns2527]

MNRRConductor2006 Why is it coming from Pittsburgh If it was coming from New York it wouldn't be coming from that direction

[meccaturbo]

That's an ex Southern Railway SW1500....a long way from its former home given that this train is on ex Pennsylvania RR rails.

[trainzeiro]

Fantastic !!!!!

[BarryManilowFan4eva]

Kool catch, love the lil NS engine aftr the MTA.

HSC is heaven.

Ya neva know what u'll see.

[NS6677]

Ah thats Metro North, not the MTA, I think

[MNRRConductor2006]

It is seen here heading to Juniata Shop in Altoona for complete overhaul plus a new paint job. My emplyer is sending all P32AC-DMs on our roster here to Juniata for the overhaul and paint. Look to see more of this as they all eventually head there and get the work done

[meccaturbo]

@MNRRConductor2006 that's because NS does quality rebuild work at Juniata.

[MNRRConductor2006]

That unit is not a P42, but actually an MTA Metro-North Railroad (NY, NY) GE P32AC-DM (AC traction, dual-mode diesel/750v third rail electric) locomotive owned by my employer, and it is destined for Altoona for overhaul and a new paintjob ata the Juniata Shop

[burtman12]

amtrak working with the big boys now. never seen that before.

[MisterNothing123]

i think i mighta been there that day, not sure.

[sparks1504]

what the hell is a P42 unit doing in the lashup ?:)

[MNRRConductor2006]

Actually that is one my employer's (MTA Metro-North Railroad, New York, NY) GE P32AC-DM (AC traction, dual mode diesel/third rail 750V third rail electric) engines, going to Altoona for overhaul and a new "Amtrak Copycat" paintjob. The video was kinda grainy, but it either looked like #219 or 210.

[Jerry2665]

They send them out for repair

[wvbadboy69]

Love it But miss the Pennsy.Rode the Three Rivers and could not see the curve cause it was late at night From Philly to Pit. From West Virgina

[jacobandcarly123]

I live in Altoona and I love to go up there.

[AliceInChains243]

hahaha, its called the NS 10N, the eastbound from Conway with the most random friggin units. I've NEVER seen a 10N lookin like this though

[BarryManilowFan4eva]

Great catch. MTA, & a lil engine :)

[PaulPeirceFan]

the train with most conrails wins ^.^

[PlanBSkater3191]

ok how the hell did a metro north p42 end up with freight? lol jk awkward consist!

[jordan1079]

well its a rail yard that tthe pennsyvannia rail road built to either go around a lake or go over the lake a a bridge the around method won. hope this helps out.

[Buffalotrains93]

weird there being a p42 and a switcher in the same manifest! great vid

[SF3751]

Nice catch you got, they must have been moving the last 2 units.

[kmothersil]

WOW a P32 Dual Mode engine.

[Wonkawillie77]

Here is some info I hope it helps.

Enjoy your visit to the USA....

Horseshoe Curve Visitor Center

(814) 941-2540 - 419 Wharton Ave, Altoona, PA

[scoof67]

well thats odd a metro north on a fright train

[BNSFandSP]

@scoof67 It's probabilly being delivered.

[trainmasta227]

@scoof67 Its in delivery

[mjb430]

Thats NS Train C36 - aka: The "Milk Run." It brings locomotives from Conway to Altoona and sets them off at Rose Yard along with regular freight. The first 3 units were bound for the Juniata Locomotive Shop. C36 also brings locomotives that have been serviced from Altoona to Enola, and its coutnerpart does the vice versa.

[themadhans]

on the right place at the right time, but want an advice? You were too much in a hurry to zoom in and out and to point the camera. This ain't no Die Hard movie, smooth and slow movements work better with trains!! Best Regards.

[NSHorseheadSD70]

Good catch on the consist.

[DAKRUPAINATER]

Nice Catch!
