Here we are at Mill River Interlocking in New Haven, where we see Shore Line East Train 3042, the local to Old Saybrook.  When I first heard this train calling the New Haven Yardmaster, apparently she had a P40DC (which I saw pulling in earlier in the afternoon, and was 838).  I guess the engine had to be shopped, because we have none other than one of the GP40-2H's shoving on the rear.  These engines are being placed out of service in favor of the P40's.  Today's consist is 3 Mafersa cars with the cab car being 1713 and the engine being GP40-2H 6696.  If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me.  Comments are welcome.  The video was taken on September 6th, 2009.
