Exclusive! Danbury Shuttle With a Turned Around Set!

Yesterday (10/16/10) train service was finally restored to the Danbury Branch after weeks of trench digging.The Conductors on the connecting train didn't even know train service was back till they saw a BL-20 sitting in the siding. The weird part: the branch set was turned around. I rode this train up (the first one) to Danbury where I volunteer at the museum. This video shows it returning to the yard after doing its second run. Sorry for the sound quality. Enjoy! (Taken 10/16/10)

Why was this train facing the opposite direction than the others?

@RAILTECHCHASER To be honest I don't know the exact reason for this. MNCR likes to do things like this but I believe they turned it around to give the train traction while going up the hills South Norwalk Bound
