First let me say, thank you. Back in my 20's blue line was my route, from Bedford Hill's to Grand Central Station. I had my internship at N.Y.A.H... This brings back memories and lots of good friends and times.. I remember the bar car... Once again thank you.. Dr
To have the time and patience to do all of these Metro-North trips, I mean, wow, it's really amazing. I genuinely mean that. This is the type of content that shows me that my subscription to this channel is worth it. I feel bad that I didn't subscribe to this channel sooner. Also, I think it's just me that feels this way, but I appreicate the shakiness in the camera. It makes the video feel more genuine and it shows that not everything is 100% perfect and that's okay. When people try too hard to be perfect, I feel that it could diminish the quaility of the product. I think it's also relatable, as when I record, my film is shaky too. Finally, since trips to White Plains and Southeast were done, could there be a trip to Wassaic looming in the distance?
Nice video of heading north on the tracks. I think it would be nice to to see all of the tracks, and the amount of switching required to get the train out of G C . I would like to see front window when you were leaving GC. Thanks for the ride!
As someone who is a big LIRR fan, due to where I grew up.. After riding Metro-North on both the Hudson and New Haven lines, the Metro-North as a whole move people faster and have far less speed restrictions than LIRR. There was a time the LIRR would haul ass.. Now only on certain sections...
@@armorpro573 they say they have. last time i rode, i took my son out to babylon to one of the diesel runs. from jamaica to lynbrook, was very pedestrian. maybe 60-65. from Rockville through freeport, through bellmore to babylon, it was moving 75. Subway slowed down as well
They do that all the time with Metro North trains. Probably because they were on approach to White Plains and their schedule dictated that was the track they needed to use going North to Southeast.
@@RogerBates7Oct 1, 2021 was a Friday and this train reached White Plains around 3:50 pm. You’d almost think there’d be a scheduled southbound train headed for GCT in time for the evening commute, but apparently not. Edit: I stand corrected. En route to Valhalla, there was a wrong-railing southbound train. This northbound train switched back again just before Pleasantville and there were several more southbound trains.

I can't believe how far up MNRR Harlem Line travels outside NYC limits!!
Now I see why it can only run express within the city; the northern stations are spaced too far apart for any to be skipped.

That speed would never make me miss the nyc subway again lol
This MNRR M3 train is hauling some serious ass, WOOOOO!!!🚈😁✌💯
Very well-done railfan video! Puts me right on the train!
My favorite Metro North line 🔥🔥🔥
This is incredible what you did keep it up
It's so beautiful , I wouldn't mind move upstate on day, Especially when i live next to the Metro-north makes it 10 times better
Isn’t this last stop considered Richmond Hill and not Ozone Park?
00:00-37:00 This is Train Simulator world 2 Harlem Line DLC
Great video! Is there a reason why the train drives on the left for some of the second half of the trip?
PLEASE do a trip on the Hudson Line!

Haven't they improved speed restrictions since two years ago?

@@frankdurham51 So, was there any difference?

Wassaic next please!
The Mt.Pleasant station at 43:13
Is there a reason why the trains switched sides at around 35:00?
They do that all the time with Metro North trains. Probably because they were on approach to White Plains and their schedule dictated that was the track they needed to use going North to Southeast.
