About this video: On March 30, 2024, an Amtrak “Portland Extra” equipment move with Amtrak P42DC 109 and F40PH-NPCU 90224 traveled from the Southampton Street Yard to North Station (both in Boston, MA) via the Grand Junction Running Track in Cambridge. This equipment move connected to the end of a Downeaster consist that had just arrived at North Station off of train 694 which had P42DC 93, five Amfleet coaches, and F40PH-NPCU 90213. As train 694 is scheduled to turn into 695 at North Station, the end that the extra equipment was attached to automatically became the leading side which resulted in Downeaster 695 having the extra equipment leading. The Downeaster set was already unusual in the first place, as it had been flipped around previously resulting in the 90213 being in a very uncommon position on the northern side of a Downeaster consist. With the Portland extra’s locomotives now on the front of this already unusual train, an extremely rare consist with two F40PH-NPCUs facing North would be seen for the following hours as Downeaster 695 made its way to Maine. I caught up with 695 in Woburn, MA (where it met Downeaster 696) and Newfields, NH.
