Changing Power at Poughkeepsie
While headed to NYC on the Lake Shore Limited, the train stopped at Poughkeepsie, New York, to change power; the rail line here was formerly the New York Central. Unfortunately, I don’t know what was on point of the train from Rochester (where I got on) to this spot, but from here on in to Grand Central Terminal, it would be an EMD FL9.
This locomotive, truly a unique model, was designed for use on the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, specifically with GCT in mind. The locomotive could run as a normal diesel-electric does, but also use the electricity of a third-rail (either over or under the shoe) so as to not spew exhaust in the tunnels under Park Avenue as well as in the station itself. There were sixty of these produced; they remarkable for their B-A1A wheel configuration. After the New Haven was folded into the Penn Central, the use of this engine type expanded to the Hudson Valley line, as we see here.
Besides what was happening with my train, there is a Rail Diesel Car in the station; RDCs were built by the Budd Company of Philadelphia between 1949 and 1962. I believe these interesting self-propelled units were used for local service on the various Conrail commuter lines north of NYC; Metro North would take over these lines in 1983.

Road trips in Juicy Lucy with Brett Beardslee are my favorite and always instill a deep sense of freedom and peace and joy. I’m Jesse Junko Beardslee and I love van livin! I also love sustainable style and female empowerment and truth seeking and mostly post about that here but one of the (tiny air cooled) engines that moves those passions through me is travel. My husband and I do it different. We do it slow, we go to remote places, we dally, we’re horrible planners, we get lost, sometimes we break down, sometimes we get ourselves into trouble but we do it our way. Juicy Lucy is our best mechanical friend and she was born in 1958! She’s a part of the family and she’s in serious need of serious work. We’ll address it, hopefully we’ll find just the right guy and all the money he needs for the vital rust work, BUT we wanted to take her out on one last spin before the cool winds blow her into a garage. Tiny bouquets, tiny stoves, tiny closets, big hearts, big skies, big dreams. It’s the best. Music by a campfire, tracking our mileage, spreading out and packing up, it’s what my soul needs. There are many more pictures I took of our mini road trip but two of the coolest things you won’t see in any of them are the bio luminescence we saw blinking on the ground in the middle of the night - mirroring the stars above… And the adolescent black bear we paced, unaware, contently coexisting, oblivious to our gentle excited observation. 506 miles roundtrip. Life is magic. ✌🏽 ❤️ 🚐 . . . #vanlife #juicylucy #volkswagen #1958panelvan #splitwindow #camping #roadtrip #travel #adventure #iloveny #vanlivin #gimbledcookstove #campfire #rosendaleny #windsorny #hectorny #poughkeepsieny #peacelovevibes #wereabull #lovemachine #shagginwagen #volkslife #artcar #vivalajuicy #volkswagenrust #makeyourownmagic #universaltruth #artist #designer #dreamer https://www.instagram.com/p/CT18oVkrYOw/?utm_medium=tumblr

My man @djenyoutee stopped over and vandalized my house. It’s alright though, it’s for a good cause. Enyoutee’s radio show “No Ideas Original” on Poughkeepsie’s 91.3 WVKR has been killing the airwaves every Saturday night for close to 10 years with the straight up underground hip hop your mother warned you about! #djenyoutee #noideasoriginal #tristatehiphop #collegeradio #wvkr #hiphop #underground #rap #radioshow #middletownny #poughkeepsieny #hudsonvalley #nyc #graffiti #piece #nio #pmer #catellovision (at LightClub Curiosity Shoppe) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2fM72AhlWN/?igshid=z6bpuzyh46ud
