The MNR Inspection Train. For the first time in a few years, the MTA Metro-North Railroad Office Cars hit the road for an Inspection Train with the railroad's President and other executives. Differing slightly in arrangement from the Holiday Train and other time when these cars are used, for the Inspection Train, a pair of P32AC-DMs (on this day 215 and 226) are coupled back to back to allow for a view out of the rear observation car and will then run around the train for the return trip. This is one of the few times of the year that a Metro-North P32 will be intentionally facing geographically south on a train. These trips are an opportunity for the executives to see particular parts of the railroad up close as a team which can be useful in the decision making process about various projects. The train consists of 2 former Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western Railway cars that once serve the “Phoebe Snow” with a former New York Central coach in the middle. On Tuesday, March 28, 2023, it operated from Grand Central Terminal in New York, New York to Poughkeepsie, New York and back.
