Giving new life to a Comet II in Tarrytown

Here we are in Tarrytown, where we see a test train with one of the old West of Hudson Comet II cab cars in the lead. I don't remember its original number, but its new number is 6119, with no name on the side of the car. Unfortunately, Metro North removed the flashing strobes from the top of the cab, which totally sucks. Along with the 6119 is a Shoreline II coach and BL20GH 129. If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me. Comments are welcome. The video was taken on June 23rd, 2009.

6119 was the Manitoga. This was the EOH cab that went west and came back now (one of 2 I believe). Wonder why they didn't put it back....

While in Croton yesterday, I saw it coupled to another oddball cab car....6113 "Senesqua Flyer"

and what exactly would make the Senasqua Flyer odd?

I can't recall the last time I ever saw it, especially with that name.

You can also call this ex WOH comet II, also meant ex west of hudson Comet II, Or Shoreliner IIS. You can spot these ex woh comet II by telling if they have 3 windows on the front instead of 2.

well its one of the original cars and names - just as 6119 was originally Manitoga. IIRC these were the two that went WOH - One to become "PORT JERVIS" the other "HARRIMAN" if I recall correctly.

at least they kept the bell. Too bad they didnt keep the horn. The Comet IIs had most likely the most powerful Ccabcar horns on the east coast
