IIRC It looks like one of the old LIRR Commuter Coaches. And the plus? Its not being taken by flatcar so its good as far as the truck bearings go... Oddity to say the least.
Re: Passenger car on tail end of NS 38E
I was the tail end of the car poking out from behind cuts of cars in the Departure yard in Elkhart. Location made it Impossible to get a shot of it. From what I could tell it looks like it has a faded Metro North logo on it it was left in the departure yard for 2-3 days but was always un-photographable.

Re: Passenger car on tail end of NS 38E
that sure is an old long island railroad coach used on the non electrified lines.some of those coaches were
converted old electric mu's to be used on the diesel hauled lines when the m-1's replaced them in the 1970's. hopefully
they refurb them nicely because they were not very comfortable to ride in.

I saw that car in Swanton on the Chicago line about 2 weeks ago.

That was exactly one week ago from today. It was on the tail end of a westbound manifest.nssd70m-2 wrote:I saw that car in Swanton on the Chicago line about 2 weeks ago.

Re: Passenger car on tail end of NS 38E
It would be alot easier to track with a car number.
Re: Passenger car on tail end of NS 38E
There was never high-speed rail planned. It was a commuter train between the two cities. It was cancelled many months back last I heard.RRTTF wrote:Thats the new car for the new Detroit to Ann Arbor high speed rail service which is supposed to get started in October.

Re: Passenger car on tail end of NS 38E
Glad to see I still know my passenger cars But what makes it odd is if it made it to Wayne or it was left at Oakwood. If it was left at Oakwood it might be headed to Canada. I do not know of any passenger car rebuilders here in Michigan, and from the photo atleast a few rows of seats are still in the car.ptrain56 wrote:that sure is an old long island railroad coach used on the non electrified lines.

Yesterday (Wed) a coworker reported seeing a old passenger car on a CP trains at NS's Oakwood yard. He said it was a Long Island car , no direction was given.

That's the new "Recession Era" office car as NS officials set an example for the employees.
And who might that be, young feller?Here is a pic of it.I did not see the train but a person i know sent me a pic of it..OR should i say part of it since the 78 year old man has to have the crossing in the photo lol
