I was driving through Menands with the wife on August 15, 2012, and we looked down the tracks to see if a train was coming. Indeed, one was and it had an unusual headlight arrangement. So, we parked by a crossing and waited. And waited.
After several minutes, it became clear that the train was not moving. So, we drove around and then got out to investigate. This is what we found. The road on the overpass is Broadway in Menands, and the building behind on the very right is the old Williams Press building, where either Life or Time magazine (I can't remember which) were printed. I am not sure why the equipment was in the tunnel for so long- either they were hiding from view in the tunnel, or else they were inspecting track in the tunnel.
It sort of reminds me of Henry the green steam locomotive who stayed in a tunnel to prevent his bright paint from being spoiled.
