Metro North Railroad (Beacon Line) Extra 6306 South Seger Street 3-9-11
Loading...
Uploaded by FL9AC on Mar 10, 2011
"Extra 6306 South" crawls at 10 M.P.H with HRRC pilot on board towards Seger Street crossing, which is in close proximity to I-84 and the Danbury Fair Mall. This was the last of two equipment moves out of Danbury because of the track washout in Bethel, CT and moved via the Housatonic Railroad and Metro-North's Beacon Line over to Brewster and the Harlem Line where the entire train headed south to Grand Central Terminal. There, the three trains were uncoupled and put back into pool service. This also marked the first time the BL20GH's have been on the Beacon Line.

@malikrthr1 The line definitely needs a ton of maintenance as the ties and right of way have seen better days. With the rare use of the line, Metro-North isn't going to maintain it just to see it not used unfortunately.

how are the status of the tracks where you were at. To me, the tracks don't look bad at all. This sets a new record to how active this line is in over a long time. I looked at the greenwhich connecticut news and it was saying how the the tracks at bethel are 120 feet suspended in the air.

@enginedave HRRC trackage (directly at the Danbury Mall) but it's a Metro-North Railroad special move.

I thought all gates/lights/bells have been removed from Beacon Line crossings?
LIRR175 11 months ago
@LIRR175 nope! All gates/crossing lights for the most part can be operated manually on the Beacon line for now...I don't believe any of the crossing equipment has been removed unless by inclement weather.

I thought they were gonna uncouple the sets at Brewster. I could've caught them going down the Harlem, but Awesome video!

@gregorygrice that was the original plan but as the extra move approached CP155 the crew was instructed to go down to GCT.
