Amtrak, Metro North and CSX at Riverdale while Waiting for the Avelia Liberty Delivery

I got a heads up from a friend that an Avelia Liberty set would be brought down the Hudson Line to Philly with the other sets, and since I was in the area I figured I would have enough time to catch this run. Although, what was supposed to be a somewhat early catch turned out to be much later than expected, due to delays at Albany. But that didn't stop me from recording as much as I could, including a northbound CSX Manifest freight that I barely missed during my last Avelia Liberty catch. Since tonight also had a super blue moon, I tried to include the moon in some of my shots to add a nice backdrop.

Kind of odd to see Mainline Freight Locomotives on Metro North tracks.
