Amtrak And Metro North At Bridgeport(W/ Horns, Friendly Engineers and 642!)

Taken 6/8/24.
My Cousin Took The Photo of 125, so Thanks to him.
First Time at Bridgeport! And Suprisingly Today was a Lucky Day. 642 showed up on regional 194, the engineer on 57 came out and said hello, and we even got to see the Waterbury Shuttle Layup south of the Station. Enjoy

I really hate how slow this section of track is

1:06 it would be a while since I seen Waterbury shuttle have to stop again
Usually it has the green to CP 255, but this time it had to stop up the platform again. Haven’t seen that since I was younger, since signals became more clearer, but apparently it had to wait again and pull up slightly

most of the time ive seen the set go all the way down to stamford(or CP 234) then come back up. 6939(i think was the number, if not 6941) had it in its timetable to go down to Stamford but, it just didnt.

@@Mnrr6131 yeah refuel. We still could use more genesis like the days when Bridgeport wasn't this modern.
