Metro North From the Bear Mountain Bridge
In the first image the train is between Manitou and the bridge, with Sugarloaf visible in the distance. In the second photograph, with the train going away, one can see Peekskill in the distance.
Just looked up the locomotive here: it's a Siemens SC-42DM in charge of the train. This is the model that will be replacing the General Electric P32AC-DMs over time. In the spirit of the time-comparison diptychs, I do have a shot of a Metro North train powered by FL9s at the same spot as the second image here.
This long stretch along the east side of the Hudson River makes up a portion of New York Central's Water Level Route, which is another theme of this series of posts.
