HOPEWELL,NY

Four PC RS-32's on Test freight from Selkirk Yard to Cedar Hill is negotiating the former New Haven's Beacon Branch that made a connection between the Hudson River East Shore Route at Beacon, NY and the Maybrook Line at Hopewell Junction. The ruling grade on this route is on the Beacon Branch eastbound. The test train did stall, but line did get upgraded and put in use. These were interesting times on PC.
