Here we are in Poughkeepsie, where we see Amtrak 281, the Empire Regional Service Train to Niagara Falls, as it passes by the newest addition to the Hudson Division roster of engines that are Oak Point qualified; SD60M's 8759 (facing south), and 8768 (facing north), which are the first wide-cab engines CSX has ever gotten to qualify on the Hudson Line south of Croton.  The two engines are sitting in the old CNE yard.  281 consists of Genesis P32ACDM 712 and 5 Amfleet I coaches.  If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me. Comments are welcome.  The video was taken on April 16th, 2009.
