Those passenger cars are Kawasaki MU units, destined for the New Haven Line of the Metro-North Commuter Railroad. Formerly used only between New Haven and Grand Central, with branch service to New Canaan, but recently they've begun providing service to New London as well. They have capability to use the overhead catenary of the former NHRR in CT to Woodlawn Junction, where they switch over to third rail power in the former NYC territory.
I've heard that the State of CT bought new Kawasaki's for the Shoreline East between New Haven and New London. The cars in this video are marked for Metro North which is everything west of New Haven. I also heard that Metro North was acquiring some new stock for the Waterbury and Danbury lines. I doubt that cars east of New Haven would be marked as Metro North where there are two totally different union groups involved; everything north and east of New Haven is part of the Amtrak unions and they also own the rails. This has been a contention for years where the Metro North unions are paid more. There are some cross union agreements where Amtrak Northeast Corridor service runs on the Metro North rails from New York to New Haven. There is some direct service from New London to Stamford on Shoreline East but it is pretty minimal.
Those are Kawasaki M-8s. They replace the [venerable] M-2s, as well as the -4s and -6s. Some sets (or cars) are owned by the MTA, but some are actually owned by ConnDOT. I've heard the Shoreline East sets had their third rail shoes removed. The changeover to catenary is now at [just short of] Pelham. The reason being, they had problems with the changeover and the Woodlawn interlocking; where trains were getting gapped. As such, the catenary grantries are still extant. I'm from NYC.
Every year we would take a trip to my grandmother's house. New Orleans La to Birmingham Al. Every year until I was at least 10. Because of that I've always had a love for trains. 🚆
My Grandfather was a station master but died before I was born, else I probably would have spent my life in trains. I live in a tourist town that has antique steam trains constantly during the spring, summer, and fall, so we hear the steam whistle about every 3 minutes from sun up to sun down.
Metro North Railroad. They operate on the former New Haven RR from New Haven, Connecticut to Grand Central Terminal, New York City, NY. They have what I think they call pin and cup couplers, so there was some sort of adapter and installed train air hose. These cars normally have train air thru the couplers. They run on dual electrical modes. Over head wire at 11,000 +/- volts ac and 750 +/- volts DC third rail.
Really neat that you caught the Metro-North Kawasaki power cars being hauled by CSX. I've noticed before that while light rail cars (trams) are usually hauled by truck, heavy-rail cars (like the Metro in Washington D.C., Metro-North around NYC, and pretty much any diesel-driven commuter train) are usually hauled by freight carriers, then the commuter railroad's own switchers complete the journey. IIRC these powered cars have to have their brake systems disengaged to be hauled like this, so they go to the end of the train. Great catch there!
Its crazy how when you pan back out you get the jist of how fast these trains really travel and vise versa how slow they appear to be while approaching and how bent up the tracks are.
Вау, 8:12 в составе этого грузового поезда были новые пассажирские вагоны, вот это сюрприз😲😲😲😃 Также ему навстречу шёл поезд с контейнерами. Спасибо за видео!👍😊
When a train is left with a foreign railroad locomotive, it's called "run through power." If a train consists of all cargo from one shipper to one customer, it's cheaper and faster to leave the locomotives on the railroad serving the shipper than to disconnect them, connect the next railroad's motive power, send the engines back empty, then send an engine to pick up the returned cars to reverse the process, especially if the customer will be sending cars right back to that shipper. The sending railroad either pays for use of the other railroad's track, or lets that railroad use their track for the same number of miles, free.
Well those are the M8 cars. Fully electric dual voltage. 25 kV AC and 750 V DC 3rd rail supported. These are made with 2 coaches in one unit, and one of those are motorised.
You sound like my dad after he retired from CB&Q R.R. He would chase trains and take trips all the time after retiring. But what was terrible was he Retired and in less than a year he was dead , Choked on a piece of Beef. He was to be 70 years old in just 21 days. He had plans for a Tour of the United States for his 70 th. year.
Great catches of CSX and NS trains WWOT! Those INTERMODAL trains really put those Diesels to work but that's what draws railfans! Seeing those UPS trailers brings back a lot of memories when I drove for them to Richmond every night for 29years! Thanks again for sharing this awesome video along with your PRICELESS time and effort! Cheers from Delmar, Delaware.
Those four cars were delivered to MTA MetroNorth and were on a siding in the remains of the old Croton Yard last week 12/6/22. Two days later I saw them moved by a MetroNorth yard engine a mile south to the old NYC Harmon Shoppes to be put into MetroNorth’s New Haven line. They have both third rail and pantagraph connections.
I assume the M8s will be used for Shore Line East based on the third rail shoes being removed from the wheel sets. So far all of Shore Line Easts M8s have had their 3rd rail shoes removed while Metro-North Railroads have kept them so they can operate to Grand Central Terminal which uses 3rd rail for power.
The 3rd rail shoes are installed after they are delivered as the shoes are not needed until after delivery, there is no need to have them already installed and get possibly damaged during transport. SLE & Metro North share the equipment. The cars being delivered have both Metro North & ConnDOT stickers applied
@@mambomta SLE operates with no third rail shoes and don’t install them because of clearance issues. Metro North sets can run the entire SLE but SLE sets can’t do vice versa. Don’t the original comment may very well be correct.
@@banksrail I am aware that SLE M8 sets do not have their 3rd rail shoes installedm However, as I said, the 3rd rail shoes are not installed until after delivery for the reasons I stated. There are no actual separate SLE cars. They just remove the shoes on the cars dedicated for SLE after testing. If the cars being delivered were SLE only equipment, they wouldn't have Metro North decals. All M8 sets can run on both railroads, but the 3rd rail shoes have to be either removed or installed depending on which railroad the equipment is on. Due to the work involved, and the amount of equipment SLE needs, they just keep a small number of sets dedicated without shoes. If the clearance issue is ever fixed, the entire fleet will have 3rd rail shoes. Depending on the cost, it may be a good idea to have new cars designed with retractable shoes in the future.
@@banksrail Reread my response to you. I've already addressed this. There is nothing incorrect about my statement. The reason that the sets dedicated to SLE have both Metro North and SLE logos is because they are the same equipment. All sets are delivered without their shoes installed. The shoes are installed for testing on Metro North. They are then removed only for the sets running on SLE due to the clearance issue on SLE. If there wasn't a clearance issue, the shoes would still be on the cars. M8 cars cannot run on SLE with the 3rd rail shoes installed. According to a post on r/NYC rail, the sets for SLE service are randomly rotated in and out by removing or adding the shoes back. So the only incorrect part of my comment is they had dedicated sets assigned. Search "M8 cars loaned to Shoreline have had their 3rd rail pickup shoes removed" There is even a post there that explains why the 3rd rail shoes are removed for SLE service.
Awesome NS CSX train chase wwot and cool catch of those Transit cars and wow another Awesome train meet another fun and entertaining video with a bunch of awesome trains DPU Alright Roll it
Those are some long freight trains. Very interesting adding the electric units on the end here in Britain we just get a loco and drag them to the specific depot.
Thats an M8 Railcar for the MTA Metro North & CT Rail in the northeast coast you saw passing by. They been in production since 2010 so it was new before but now they're over a decade old. Plus it's built by the Kawasaki Heavy Industries from Japan.
If I'm not mistaken, those are Kawasaki M8s most likely Ex-MTA and scheduled for use on CTRail's Shore Line East. They are replacing GP40-3Hs and P40DCs/P40BHs
NS 28B Had 21 cars. Consisted of Wells and Spines, and empty spines. CSX M368 Had 162 cars. Had 4 M8s for Metro North CSX I017 Had 121 cars. Had a lot of spines and a good amount of wells. CSX I009 Had 82 cars. With a CW40-8 Leading CSX I009(2) Had 60 cars. CSX I158 Had 88 cars. CSX I158(2) Had 96 cars.
He caught some EMUs on their way to be delivered for a commuter rail service and there was a hitchhiking CSX locomotive pulling a freight train with the train cars behind them. Chasing a delivery train and more at the local railroad tracks. He didnt expect to see a delivery train. Kawasaki multiple units being delivered to new York for Metro-North. Plus railfanning along multiple railroad crossings. Cheers to Mike and all the other railfans. A CSX train delivering Kawasaki multiple unit EMUs bound for electrified commuter service on Metro-North Railroad. Those are some nice catches you got Mike. EMU delivery train and another train meet.

I use to live in New Haven, CT those are the New Haven line cars. They are probably ten years old now. I haven't had the chance to use them, but they are cool to look at.
Very cool train meet with the surprise of the new transit coaches. I remember seeing retired transit coaches being shipped on flat cars heading for scrap on one of your earlier videos.

A Triple Crown trailer...haven't seen one of them in awhile. I had a buddy who went into business with a couple of Canadian folk. They thought they were going to revolutionize the rail/truck transportation system. They tried an ''Elephant Walk'' sort of system, hooking trailer into trailer. It didn't catch on.
This was interesting to see. The Trains are so short!!! In the heartland we have trains that are regularly 250 to 300 cars long with 8 + engines on them. A crossing near my house can hold you for a LONG time.
@@BlackcloudRailways I guess because roads are "free" and rails are not? And because track paths are scarce, and because any residents on the road don't have to be compensated for their road system being held up by a large vehicle?
Yes those are MetroNorth passenger trains which travel between (plz see the following: Metro-North Railroad (MNR) in New York is a train network that connects New York City with upstate New York. It also connects New York to Connecticut and some of the lines go through a part of New Jersey, towards another part of New York State.)
Technically the CW44 is a rebuilt AC4400CW, the AC44C6M is a rebuilt D9-44CW. There are one or two CSX ET44AHs that have been going back and forth on the Southern Tier lately, haven't managed to get them on video yet but hopefully I will be able to before they disappear. And while I was watching an NS came through heading your way.
2 greys today! you know trains i'd love to your reaction to something like the transit cars and then you realize there's a hudson or pacific coming at you on the other track!!
On Dec 23rd, i wil be on the Amtrak Lakeshore Limited 449 going from Boston, MA to Toledo, Ohio, not looking forward to the 17 1/2 hrs on the train though...lol
I just noticed something about the CSX symbol on the engines and some of the cars. It looks like a box car with CSX on the side with 2 axle trucks under it on each end.
So that passenger train that was at the end of that first freight was a metro north train from New haven and terminates at grand central terminal in New York city and there are two more train lines that depart from grand central to other places up state New york
USA have most powerfull diesel locomotives but Europe has the most powerful electric locomotives But when it comes to freight trains, America is at the forefront of the long greetings from Germany 👋🇩🇪

MPH divided by time it takes to pass gives you the length of the train, right?
