Filmed Summer 2003. Engineer honks before departing, two passengers left behind. The doors were manual, back then people weren't stupid enough to try and board a moving train...
There aren't enough ACMU videos online, attempting to rectify. I have more, might post them eventually...
@malikrthr1 Two are at the Danbury Railway Museum, and there's a whole bunch of them for sale somewhere.

best train ever. they had low back seats that afforded a 360 degree unobstructed view of the entire car and out the window. perfect when riding on the hudson line.

@malikrthr1 Leslie S-2L. Same thing as the MN cab cars and SEPTA's GE Silverliners. Also yes I was on that trip with my kid. I still have the brochure which looked like a MN train schedule and I still have my ticket stubs.

were you on acmu's. I believe that they are all gone and in the scrapyards in non revenue service.

I was on this trip and had a blast. We went to Mt. Vernon East where they had just changed that stretch over to third rail from overhead, then went to N. White Plains, then to Croton-Harmon. Got lots of stills, one with my 7-year old in the engineer's seat.

I had a time on the Baltimore MARC train where the group I was with and myself were running to board the MARC train and it pulled off while we were running even though the conductor knew we were getting ready to board before signalling the engineer for departure.
