A string of 20 units ranging from newer power to classic power sits on run-around track in North Yard. Meanwhile, a remote control operator moves a set of switchers out of the way on the lead to make room for three units from the MNPNY to pull off the train on yard track four. The managers in the yard tower were trying to figure out what to do with all the power. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Some units have the typical two-pane wind shield, while some have a three-pane wind shield. I personally prefer the two-pane as seen here!
