QUOTE: Originally posted by eolafan [V] If anybody else noticed the photo of a scrapper dismantling Metro North FL9 units at Croton-Harmon, NY on www.railpictures.net (the photo was just taken a few days back), hope you will agree with me that it is enough to make a grown man cry. Yes, I know time marches on, but I fondly remember these units when I was commuting into Grand Central Terminal back in the seventies.
