Here's a closer look at Metro-North's "Tribute to Metro North Employees" unit. Both sides of the locomotive feature graphics that is actually a mosaic of Metro-North Employee photographs. I personally love the fact that Cornelius Vanderbilt is part of this too.

The Croton Shop Open Houses allow the public to get an idea of things they never get to see, and how the railroad is run and maintained by different departments.
