Title: NY locomotive pulls NJ Transit train in Hackensack
Post by: BLeafe on June 27, 2018, 12:00:07 PM

I saw this on Monday. An MTA Metro-North locomotive was pulling an NJ Transit commuter train into the Anderson St Station right by the Lynch/Lunch billboards.

I don't recall seeing this before...........is this common?

It's not uncommon. "Service within New York State is operated under contract with Metro-North Railroad."
