Passenger Trains > Electric Porpoise leads #49 west

This evening, while listening to the Mohawk Radio Feed, I heard the engine crew on LAKE SHORE LIMITED #49 identify the lead engine as #707, which is a P32AC-DM (dual mode normally used in service between NY and Albany).  Could this be the next Empire unit to get painted at Beech Grove?  This may be the first time the LAKE SHORE has been led by a dual mode.

I'm pretty sure the Lake-Shore is normally led by Dual Modes between Penn Station and Albany, Perhaps there wasn't enough serviceable P42s at Albany for a proper engine change.

707 through to Chicago leading,with 92 trailing. 707 is headed for the Grove.
