"2170 With the Diesel Assist"
Just after midnight on June 12, 2024 Amtrak P42s 119 & 97 are seen towing disabled Acela train 2170 at New Haven Union Station in Connecticut.
2170(11) suffered electrical issues just east of Saugatuck River Railroad Bridge (CP 244) on Metro North's New Haven Line, preventing it from continuing it's trip to Boston. After passengers were transferred to the next eastbound Acela, the New Haven Switching Crew was dispatched with two diesels to tow the train to New Haven. There, a second crew would meet them to continue the tow move to Southampton Street Shops in Boston, Massachusetts.
