This is the undoubtedly the greatest catch on the PJ branch I've seen on this channel and in recent history. The consist, the in depth description, the total number of engines, everything about this catch is perfect and amazing! Bravo!
Merely an observation, not a criticism, but no rear end marker(s) on the tail end. I also noticed that none of the psgr cars were lighted inside, so possibly a power problem with power not able to reach the cars from the HEP. With 161 in the mix, they may have no viable way (or extension cords long enough) to get hotel load to the train. Since no revenue on board, not a great need to worry about it, I suppose.
Good eye, I noticed the lack of markers too. After looking again it seems the 4 car set was 5019 + 3 cars, which was the original equipment with 409 on train 627 that failed. I’m assuming 404/161 was the original equipment to be taken back, but was sandwiched between the 409/5019 set…weird
@@LIRRTV I think you are correct and there was probably an issue on 5019 preventing it from operating as lead car which was why (no pun intended) they wyed 409.
This is just awesome to see, 2 DE30s and a MP15 triple heading with a set behind it, kinda looks like an old fashioned LIRR fan trip. AWESOME catch!!!
