There has'nt been a mini-bomb on the upper hudson in at least 20 yrs. FL-9's haven't (could'nt) do more than 75mph beyond Croton-North over there in the last 10 yrs of their lives. Serious truck hunting issues hindered their longivety to say the least.Sadly, Amtrak ran their FL-9's into the ground in their final years running out of GCT. Often, for example, train #49 would have one FL-9 on the point with at least 9 heavyweight coaches in tow. Best speed 50mph, if that. Screaming in run 8 in the Park Ave tunnel spewing gobs of blue smoke diesel fumes for any lungs to ingest. That was ok but god forbid if you lit up a cigarette. |
