Removing The Rust
By Pierce Haviland and Ron Yee
| Rail movements on Metro-North's Beacon Line are
rare. This permits rust to build up on the tracks. Before the
rails can be inspected, the rust must be removed. This is done by
running a train. A training train was taken out of Danbury on
September 16, 2001 for this purpose. Ron Yee and Pierce Haviland
captured a few photos along the way, |
