Passenger Trains > Tonight's Lake Shore #49

Am listening to #49 on the Mohawk Stream - went by Big Nose MP 192 at 11:08 pm.
​CP 4743 had observed #449 tieing onto LAKE SHORE equipment in Albany-Rensselaer that we believe had been #48's train, turned for #49.
​It will be interesting to learn how the passengers got from NY to A-R. Am told that some Empire trains had turned at Croton-Harmon, with Metro-North running shuttles to take the passengers between CRT and Grand Central.

I heard they were turning at Yonkers, with dedicated shuttles to GCT

Someone else said they took Lake Shore passengers out to Croton Harmon on a train from Grand Central. Not sure if they then boarded an Amfleet train to Albany there and then picked up a "turned" #48 to #49 in Albany or not. The other option being Amtrak took #49 ahead of schedule out of Sunnyside and out to Croton Harmon via New Rochelle and then onto Metro North to join up with its Hudson River line.
