READ:
Following last summer's minor service diversions to facilitate NY Penn Station track work, Amtrak has gone forward with the Spuyten Duyvil Swing Bridge rehabilitation, in addition to major track work along the Empire Connection. This means that ALL Empire Service trains are being diverted into Grand Central Terminal until September 4th, 2018. Additionally, the Maple Leaf and Adirondack trains are also running in and out of NYG. The Lakeshore Limited's NY section is being re-routed to Boston for the duration of the project, as there are no facilities at GCT to service the Viewliners that are a part of the Lakeshore's consist.

The action seen here comes from the first weekday schedule run of the re-routed services, and gets off to a shaky start, as both the outbound Maple Leaf and Adirondack trains are delayed 90 to 110 minutes out of GCT due to both locomotives' paperwork being out of date. Additionally, for the time being, until nose hatches are cut into the remaining Amtrak P32AC-DMs, the MARC cab cars will continue to be used with as-yet unmodified locomotives. Enjoy the action =)
