CTrail Double Draft
Northbound CTrail train 6402 had broken down just outside its final destination as P40DC 6701 (blt. Nov. 1993 by GE as AMTK 834, acquired in 2005 and rebuilt by Beech Grove in 2019-2020) suffered ground faults and sat disabled on the curve beneath Interstate 91 for over two and a half hours. The two passengers aboard were taken off the train and then management ultimately decided to leave the train until the next northbound showed up. After being rescued by train 6454 with P40DC 6711 the two sets (one with three Mafersa coaches and one with three MBBs) are seen shoving down to their spot on track four at Union Station in this telephoto view across CSXT's Berkshire Sub mainline at CP98. After a brief pause detrain their passengers and then load any folks headed south they started right back as a double draft to New Haven as train 6455.
