Loopy Beacon
With a friendly wave, the engineer of NHSE begins to work the dynamic brakes for the steep downgrade from here in downtown Beacon, NY to the "Waterlevel Route" a little over a mile away. The train is facing due south while passing the New Haven tri level depot. By time it reaches Metro North, it will pass over the Hudson Line facing west and turn due north to join the high iron for the rest of the run to Selkirk.
