A Sunset Cameo. On Friday, May 18, 2022, CTDX P40BWH 6705 (née-AMTK 841, P40DC) pulls Shore Line East Train 1687 west from the Old Saybrook, Connecticut Station. This former P40DC is one of 12 (8 received directly from Amtrak, 4 from NJ Transit that had previously been Amtrak engines) that are being rebuilt at Amtrak’s Beech Grove, Indiana shops, with the first returning to service in 2021. These engines were in the CTRail rotation, serving both the SLE and Hartford Lines. Starting on May 24, 2022, these diesels, along with six GP40-3Hs, will primarily serve the Hartford Line as 4-car trains of Kawasaki built MTA Metro-North M8s will hold down the SLE assignment. When the Metro-North timetable is changed, one set will eventually serve as a protect for the Danbury and Waterbury Branches.
