Rare Catch at Springfield Union Station

[@NortheastTrainMan]

Thank you SO MUCH for using timestamps! It makes it soooo much easier to view & find what I'm looking for. So few of us (railfans) use them, or even know what they are. So it's nice to see someone who does. Bravo.

At your service! Glad it was helpful!

The 2 Metroliner cabs coupled facing says it all about why the diaphragms should never have been removed and the cab ends plated over.

[@StefanWithTrains]

Did some people fall out?

[@centredoorplugsthornton4112]

@StefanWithTrains no it doesn't allow people to pass between cars when coupled mid consist.

Very nice! I’m taking a trip to Springfield for a hockey game really soon! Was it easy to Railfan on the platform? Did you have to ask someone for permission?

[@johnalder6028]

Very nice. Greetings from Port Saint Lucie, Florida. That's a beautiful station in Springfield.

[@mr.conductorfromsts4204]

Thank you very much!

Why is the door on the right side of the Metroliner cab car removed?

[@mr.conductorfromsts4204]

For safety for drivers

[@NortheastTrainMan]

Also, nice job of including the "original" (as in when they were EMUs) numbers of the Metroliner Cab Cars.

Have the new Chargers been spotted in Springfield yet?

[@mr.conductorfromsts4204]

Not yet.

[@StopRequested]

Awesome catch! Do you know if passengers can still walk in between the metroliner cabs when they're coupled like that, or are the vestibules blocked off?

[@mr.conductorfromsts4204]

Unfortunately, Only one set that they can climb aboard.

[@petere4540]

Hi is there any csx or ns going through here? Great video

[@mr.conductorfromsts4204]

I hadn’t seen, I stayed for just an hour

[@2307_railfanning]

Is 77 being transported for repairs, or are they simply using it as power while keeping it from leading?

[@2307_railfanning]

Oh nvm saw description

[@mr.conductorfromsts4204]

@@2307_railfanning77’s engine was shut down, because after the crazy trespassing throwing rocks at the window. If one of the trespassers did one more move, they’ll be ending up being arrested for the rest of their lives.

[@GeneralTrainGuy]

i thought P40s were replaced by Chargers

[@mr.conductorfromsts4204]

Some Long Distance Routes like Lake Shore, Sunset Limited, Texas Eagle, Southwest Chief were still remain with Genesis P42DC, and soon in the next few months or years, they’ll soon receive ALC-42 Chargers, as well as soon for Auto Train

[@mr.conductorfromsts4204]

Palmetto was the first Intercity Route for ALC-42 Chargers

[@HartfordLineRailfan6707]

as of right now, the Hartford Line has P42DC's
