Bookend Your Week With Meet. An outlawed CSX M701 was recrewed and ready to go and sitting near CP 35 in Croton-On-Hudson, New York on the morning of Friday, May 17, 2024 with CSXT 468 (AC44CW) leading. And then Amtrak 233 passed by with United Railroad Historical Society of New Jersey's "Hudson River Rail Excursions" and former New York Central 'Hickory Creek' (PPCX 800733) holding the markers for one of the more improbable meets to be seen in third rail territory on MTA Metro-North Railroad. Freight trains normally only operate at night in this area, so a lot of unusual events had to coincide for this scene. On Sunday, Metro-North's New York Central heritage unit was in the right place for a photo as the 'Hickory Creek' passed it returning to New York, so this was a good way to end the week.
