Subway car pick up
Title:  Subway car pick up
Description:  BUOI couples to the flats loaded with NYCTA subway cars just shoved out of the MK plant, and will now back to the rest of its train, which it dropped west of Cass St. Once theyre back together, its off to Gang Mills and Jersey. There are two notable units in the consist. The second unit, 6840, is a former EMD SD 60 demonstrator. The third unit is one of the only ten C32-8's built. They usually were seen only on the River and Boston Lines, so this one is a stray.
