do freights run on the harlem line?

[kaesthebluntedwonder]

ive been wondering lately if freights run on the harlem line in nyc and surrounding areas at times when its not in use by the mta...just curious.

[krowteN]

no, not any more..only metro north. no freight traffic in manhattan

[kaesthebluntedwonder]

and as for the harlem line... there are a few local jobs that still
recieve cars on all of the MNCW lines as far as main lines though
the Hudson Line runs trains from Selkirk Yard to the Oakpoint yard
in the Bronx and then goes out to Freshpond Yard in Queens
these trains usually come down well in the middle of the night to avoid
tying up the commuter lines....

the only time to see something rolling on the hudson is in the wee hours of the morning...its funny because we dont talk shit about europeans hitting cleans..i dont see a reason for such nonsense..different places, different people, different culture..but i guess some people have more respect than others

yeah when all the fenses loose about 8 feet all the razor ribbon, the cops in vandal squad dont carry guns, and the trains run for more than 4 hours we will.

i've seen stuff laid up by the tappanzee before. probably just some mncw cars, but can't be completely sure.

[kaesthebluntedwonder]

yes, ive seen those there before

[MONSTERKIDZ]

the gondolas by the tappan zee bridge
are all MNCW cars..the reason why it might seem like there is also
regualr freight cars mixed in is because MNCW purchased a
few CSX gondolas to start replacing those existing beat up
MNCW cars we all know and love

and as for the commuter cars
METRO NORTH cars have been painted by some of NYC's /CT's
biggest writers and im sure still get done from time to time
i remember Egon E's floating around unbuffed for weeks
and in like 98-99 saw an e2e rolling on the New Haven Line from
some of those TSB kids i beleive
