I was mildly surprised today as I walked down to NYP track #10 to board Metroliner #2250 to Boston. A quick trip to take advantage of a double point AGR offer for using Metroliner's between June 15th and July 15th.
To my surprise, sitting on track #9 was Acela Trainset #20, with power car #2026 heading up the train. I can only hope that this was a test run for the new brakes. There were no passengers onboard the train and I did note that the nose cone on the power car was open, so it is possible that it was towed into Penn.
Either way, it was still nice to see an Acela someplace other than the yard.
