Here we see Siemens SC42DM #307 of Metro North Railroad testing with Long Island Railroad's DE30ACs and C3s pulling it through in Jamaica.
LIRR will get their own Siemens Chargers in 2027, so to prepare, MNRR sent one of theirs to test.

Acela Express trains were built by Bombardier Inc and GEC Alstom to reach speeds up to 150 miles per hour. An enormous effort was required to make Acela Express service possible.

This included major changes to grade crossings and the electrification of the 454-mile portion of the line between New Haven and Boston. Prior to 2000, trains had to switch to diesel power to continue past New Haven.

A variety of major service changes occurred in late 1988, and among them was the elimination of the K train. The B and C lines were expanded to include the K’s route, and the K was no longer needed. Do you remember the K train?

Beginning at 168th St and making local stops along the Eighth Avenue Line, the K was similar to today’s C line, but provided service only in Manhattan, terminating at World Trade Center. This roll sign shows the K designation.

#TodayinHistory: #OnThisDay in 1988, the K train was discontinued. Never heard of the K train? That’s probably because it only ran for a little over three years.
When it debuted in 1985, the K train was the new route indicator for the local Eighth Avenue route, formerly known as the AA.
