Just as I stepped off of Metro North Train 895, the 12:10AM express train from Grand Central Terminal to Poughkeepsie, in Yonkers, I was fortunate enough to catch D&H 416 rolling through the station.  D&H 416 is the thru freight from Kenwood Yard in Albany to Fresh Pond Yard in Queens.  I had gotten off at Yonkers for this reason specifically.  I had originally gotten on in GCT, but upon being notified by a friend that 416 was already in Croton, I debated whether to get off at Marble Hill.  However, I figured that Yonkers was only another 7 minutes away, so I risked everything and stayed for the trip to Yonkers.  I literally stepped off the train 20 seconds before I started filming.  You can see 895 departing from Yonkers on the right, just as 416 hits the platform.  Tonight's consist is SD40-2's 5672 on the point and 5671 trailing, with a 29 car mixed freight.  If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me.  Comments are welcome.  The video was taken at 12:38AM on July 29th, 2008.
