Beach Ball at Bear Mountain

My earliest memories of Metro North derive from seeing FL9s wizz up and down the Hudson line at Bear Mountain. I faintly remember seeing these unique units in the "beach ball" paint scheme doing what they were meant to do, move people.

 

In the past few weeks, Metro North has been working on a unit that displays the iconic "beach ball" scheme, Metro North 208. The unit was chosen as Metro North FL9 2008, was the last to be pulled from service.

 

On the evening of May 28th, 2023, Metro North train 8843 headed north up the Hudson line, with 208 leading the full shoreliner III blue consist to Poughkeepsie.
