After the Storm (Metro North/Amtrak)

It's January 17, 1996. The great "Blizzard of 96'" is all but memory and quickly vanished as warm temperatures and rain swept through the Hudson Valley leaving just the largest of snow wakes from plows and shovels. But not for Metro North as seen in the opener to this video of trains passing in the night at Peekskill, NY. The governor wants answers as to why the commuter agency could not run during the blizzard and why information given to passengers was either false, misleading or both. But tonight at Peekskill, everything is on time at the evening rush. It was my favorite hour and a half to hang out on the platforms at the station, between 5:30 and 7:00PM. A couple of trains were cut from the scenes to fit into youtubes "10 minute law" and many scenes are rather dark, but the sound of commuter rail action make up for the sight.
ENJOY!

This video is absolutely fantastic. The 2012 in pre-NYC paint scheme, VRE Boise Budds, and some B23-7's. The only thing missing here is an SPV-2000 shuttle (albeit a few years too late for them).

I rebuilt turbo was actually the first train in this, but like I said, I had to cut some things out.

Not a problem. I am sure I will see a turbo in one of your videos in the future.
