Not long after the sun rose over the eastern horizon, a seven-car Metro-North Railroad commuter train, with MNCW dual-mode* P32AC-DM 208 leading, wearing a retro version of the carrier's paint scheme, approaches the Harlem-125th Street station, its first stop since departing New York City's Grand Central Terminal about ten minutes earlier. This four-track mainline sees a near-constant parade of trains, even on a holiday such as this (January 20th is Martin Luther King Junior Day). MNCW Hudson Line train 8807 is heading for Poughkeepsie NY. (New York, New York – January 20, 2025)
* – These locomotive are powered by either diesel engines or, while in the long tunnel to GCT, third-rail electric power.
