Passenger Trains > BNSF OCS equipment heads for home - 10/1/25Date: 10/01/25 03:47 BNSF OCS equipment heads for home - 10/1/25 Author: JPB I don't know when Amtrak-led BNSF OCS equipment move departed New York City but it passed Virtual Railfan's S Norwalk live cam at 0343 Wednesday 10/1/25 on its way to West Springfield for a power swap.
It should be pulling into the Springfield Union Station (in front of VR's live cam) to reverse across the Connecticut River bridge into the CSX W Springfield Yard between 0645 and 0700.

Here's the pseudo-Chief arriving Springfield Union Station at 0700 in front of VR's live cam. Amtrak P42s were cut-off and the CSX+BNSF+BNSF power was added onto the west end of the train. CSX P991 departed west at 0800. And finally P991 charges upgrade in the Berkshires past the live cam at the Chester depot at 0848    Date: 10/01/25 06:50 Re: BNSF OCS equipment heads for home - 10/1/25 Author: mvrr10 Great info and screen grabs , Amtrak 109-107 did the honors from Oak Point to Springfield .

There was a wedding train last weekend an power was "unavailable", resulting in two UP SD70Ms for power.
