Standard Cab Meet At Nabisco. On the afternoon of September 22, 2022, MTA Metro-North Railroad GP35r MNCW 107 (née-SOO 728, GP35, 5/1965, EMD) was pulling a train of Continuously Welded Rail that had been dropping along the Hudson Line that day as it stopped to let off a crew member at the "Nabisco Siding" just south of the station in Beacon, New York. Sitting in the siding is Precision Locomotive Leasing (PNLX) MP20B-3 2107, the lead unit on the "Plow Train" that was laying fiber-optic cable along the tracks. The PNLX locomotives have since moved on to a job on another railroad. Once a notable freight customer, the Nabisco box factory was built in 1929 and sold in 1984. Since 2003, it has been home to "Dia Beacon", a contemporary art museum that has had a significant economic impact on the area, but to the railroad it remains Nabsico.
