Reply to "Switcher Saturday: 2017-Aug-19"

Yay SWSat is on!

We are off to a good start (as usual) this week. This week I have some pics I took two weeks ago in the Bronx at MO tower. I found Metro North GP35 with a brand new paint job waiting for a job.

There was also the Burro self powered crane that usually is stationed here but the big catch was a Sperry detector car rebuilt from a vintage doodlebug. Originally this car was built in 1926 by EMC for Lehigh Valley as thier car 29. A bit unique to see a 91 year old rail vehicle still in commercial use.

You can see the double door 40 ft boxcar still in Conrail paint next to the sperry car in that last pic.

Here is some more quick pics of the work crew gathered around an end cab Switcher from my commute at 125st on the ABCD track work.

Have a great week.
