Damn, I'd like to visit New York. Just to walk around different areas and look at the buildings. That's all. Take the trains and watch the scenery go by. I'm a simple man with simple dreams.

18:13 this is the fastest switch I've ever seen a North American train make (I think N America generally has slower track switching than other established rail grids like Europe's and Asia's, for simpler maintenance + track construction, and because of more massive freight loading gauge)

There is a safety built into every M-2 car set that if you forget to drop the pans and switch to DC as soon as your third rail shoes hit live third rail it automatically drops the pantograph for that. Set of cars. To prevent a pantograph strike against a bridge.

At 23:56 The New Haven Line merges with Amtrak and Acela's Northeast Corridor Line that runs the rest of the route to Boston, MA.

10:07 over the bridge into the Bronx...Love It ! 🏾

Its important to note that this train runs express between Grand Central and Rye- then runs locally all the way to Stamford.

For those saying the train is moving slow, it’s not. It’s due to the camera being so close to the window that it creates an effect that makes the train seems slower than how it actually is.

THAT was FUN! Thanks for sharing this, you made me miss NYC and all of the cool trains to ride and especially the railroads like Metro-North. I particularly love and miss the subway. Thanks again.

30:25 Coming right up alongside the other last few M2s.

Ride this line from NH to GCT when I go to a METS Game. Drivers are usually pretty friendly and leave the door open so the kids can peek in. Guess they don't like to be all closed up when it's not a full train. They get a little more cautious when the trains are full and it's peak hours.
