[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] Interesting observations you made, Ms. Sojourner. From such, it appears that #448's cars handled on the rear of #48 are cut at the yards immediately after X-ing the Hudson yet North of the Depot. 448 and 48 then make their station stops at ALB as separate trains. Since last I knew, the two P-42 units from #48 handles #448 onward to BOS, and a single P-32ACDM handles #48 onward to NYP, presumably that change is also made at the yards (Maintenance Facility in Amtrakese). This handling certainly makes sense, and while I can't be certain, a yard engine may not be needed. It appears that the whole operation is a "cut the Boston power', "back the NY power down", "pull the pin on the Boston cars", "back down the Boston power",,,and highball. Regarding your thoughts that the Boston Sleeper may only be seasonal, time will tell. I still will be interested to learn what "pol" leaned on Amtrak to make this service enhancement, as I highly doubt the initiative to do so originated @ 60 Mass. [/QB][/QUOTE]
