It's about that time of year.... has anybody seen Metro-North's LASER TRAIN out yet?

It uses lasers to zap leaves off the rails! That helps prevent sliding or braking issues for the trains, especially in wet weather.

It will be positioned behind an engine like in the photo and just running as part of the regular commuter fleet.

train on a track with overhead catenary lines. There is an empty track to the right. The locomotive is further away from the viewer and is primarily black, with a red and white design on front. Closer to the viewer is a car labeled "Laser train" in a font mimicking a neon sign. The lower part of the train is a bright blue. The upper part is black and has the outline of many different types of leaves overlaid on the black.
