Rail Train On The Hudson Rails. MTA Metro-North Railroad is completing its visit to the GP35Rs 107 (née-SOO 728, GP35, 5/1965) and 106 (née-PRR 2274, GP35, 5/1964) were paired up on the "Rail Train" to deliver Continuously Welded Rail (CWR) across all 3 east of Hudson Lines. The train is seen crossing Annsville Creek at "water level" near Peekskill, New York on Thursday, September 22, 2022, allowing for a view of the lengthy consist. With its racks nearly empty, it is coming to the end of its visit. Using welded rail eliminates the "clickty-clack" noise of jointed rail and drastically expedites the process of rail replacement. With only the occasional freight passing through in daylight, this is otherwise the longest train that can be seen here, and normally only once a year.
