MNCR 2025, FL-9, 1985 |
| Description: |
MNCR. Here is an original photo that I took in Larchmont, New York, on 19 July 1985. Shown here (L to R) are Metro-North Commuter Railroad engines #2025 and #2023. Both are FL-9 "electro-diesels" built by GM-EMD. #2025 was built as New Haven number "2000" in January of 1957, rated at 1,750 horsepower, and later renumbered MNCR "2025." #2023 was built as NH number "2057" in November of 1960, rated at 1,800 horsepower, and later renumbered "2023." They're pulling a six-car commuter train from Grand Central Terminal toward Stamford, Connecticut. Note that there's another train approaching on Track 4. The time is 6:26 P.M. |

Pushing them in |
| Description: |
When Metro North and CDOT bought new equipment, it was push pull. The engines generally run on the east end of the train, so on the branch, they are physically on the north end, making good lighting a challege. This pair is at Wilton, pushing the train toward Grand Central. The station here is attractive, and had the power been leading with the New Haven unit on the point, it would have been a classic New Haven shot. |
