Central Meet On Central. The release of MTA Metro-North Railroad 211 in its New York Central tribute 40th Anniversary wrap has created lots of photo opportunities to catch this lightning striped locomotive with various landmarks from the original railroad. One such scene presented itself on the afternoon of Sunday, May 12, 2024 when that day's United Railroad Historical Society of New Jersey's "Hudson River Rail Excursions" passed through Poughkeepsie, New York on Amtrak Train 244 with former New York Central 'Hickory Creek' (PPCX 800733) holding the markers, creating a meet with MNCW 211 (NYC-40th Anniversary, P32AC-DM) on the platform. The car proudly displays its "20th Central Limited" tail sign and retraces its original route down the Water Level on the Hudson Line, though today like all Empire Service in the modern era will go to Moynihan Train Hall/New York Penn Station, while Metro-North trains go to the New York Central's Grand Central Terminal. A host of other trains passed by as well, including the Lake Shore Limited in both directions.
Amtrak Train 244 featured a very unusual arrangement of back-to-back pair of P32AC-DMs - AMTK 703 was leading as AMTK 708 faced inward while testing after mechanical repairs. This consist turned for Train 261 (without the private cars), as seen in Moynihan Train Hall/New York Penn Station.
