Posted by seabeachexpress on Tue Feb 26 19:24:56 2013, in response to Amtrak Locos into NYO, posted by MainR3664 on Tue Feb 26 13:58:06 2013. The 700 number series P32DM that Amtrak uses on the Empire corridor only use the shoes in the station and in the empire connector tunnel built in 1991 when in revenue service. They are of course used in movements to/from the Sunnyside yards. Once a revenue train is on the Empire connection beyond the tunnel the shoes are retracted and the prime mover takes over. This is also done because they are over-running and not compatible with Metro North under running 3rd rail. |
