ConnDOT Genesis Engines
By Pierce Haviland and Ron Yee
| The newest engines in the Metro-North fleet are
the ConnDOT Genesis engines, numbered 228-231. These engines are
identical to the 27 silver and blue Genesis units with the
exception of the New Haven Pain Scheme. |

Old Meets New |
|
An old F-10 stands in the way of Genesis unit 225. The F unit was an original F3, made in the 1940s, that was rebuilt by ICG and renamed F10. Four of these units gave a decade of reliable service to Metro-North despite their age. |

Reflections |
|
It looks like the paint is still wet on the newest Genesis engine, the 231. It will be the last unit of this type to be built by GE for Metro-North for the forseeable future. Bye-bye FL9s. |
