Weird happening, today

[J-1 3235]

This morning, I was waiting on the track 2&4 platform at New Haven for Train 162 to BOS. I was quite surprised to hear a horn, then look up and see a New Jersey Transit trainset pull up on track two.

I could not see the loco, as I was at the other end of the platform. It was a seven car consist of their (NJT) double deck cars.

As my train headed north, on track four, the NJT train was still at the platform.

Any thoughts?

P.S. to Jishnu-hope you're OK with my play on your topic's title

I think I know the answer to my previous post. I found a thread over at RR.net about Metro North crews training on NJT equipment for an upcoming New Haven-Meadowlands service for Giants football.

As my post is not Amtrak-related, please feel free to move it. Sorry!

I bet the loco was an ALP-46.

We've had a few topic on NJT trains running out on Metro North territory here too. And that wasn't a test/training train, they are doing actual game day service at this point.
