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.
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.
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. 🚆
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!
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.
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
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.
I recognize a lot of the shipping container/trailer logos but went OMG at 12:06 to recognize one from my home state of WI. Had to replay it a few times. Marten Transport from Mondovi, WI.
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.
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!👍😊
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!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. Those are some awesome catches Mike.
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.
Great videos. Enjoyed viewing all train this video but especially first train with transit cars.. Looked New Haven. Enjoy at times leaving camera running and be able to see area as seasons change, weather, Good shots of sun rise set, tress, cars, trucks, bridges, places, Thank you for information on the trains where start and finish the deliver run. Like personal touches statements and special shots as birds. Notice the train line is so clean orderly.
oh..! of all the train footage, paralleling that head end was indeed mightily charming, and its whistling alongside us here even sounded elvish, elf-like...I could watch more like that, I could 🍺
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.
W,W,O,T I just love the side by side videos and you keeping up with the lead engine and to hear that baby humming the power that engine possessed just blows my mind rail on my friend.
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.
Thank you for the videos my man! Don’t know how many other NYCT/MTA railfans we have here but it’s hella interesting to see M8s off Metro North trackage let along a freight consist. Last time I saw something like this it was R32s being transported for scrap on a BNSF consist
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.
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.
I like the color scheme on those transit cars , now that was a great train meet. I have been seeing a lot of southern pacific box cars latley too. and triple crown allright.
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.
All kinds of "goodies" to choose from in this show WWOT...awesome chase as always (look at that "fist-full" of horn bells atop CSX 386!! SP boxcar still retains its original reporting marks @6:13. Nice "open-top" BN hopper @6:40. Those transit cars were "somethin' else...first three were for CDOT (Connecticut, ex-NH, with pantographs down)...carrying the markers was a solo car for Metro-North. Really unique Triple Crown @13:12...extra-large lettering along with a ConRail herald "midships"!! You said it WWOT..."You ain't seen nothin' yet!!!" BTW...morning of Dec 7, I saw the CDEX "Happy Halloween" car rolling thru Nassau Interlocking (Mineola, Long Island) on an eastbound NY & Atlantic freight. Keeping an "eye-out" for the "WWOT" car down here... 👍 👍👍

@@tgmct Some Metro North M8's have been running east of New Haven. Here's an example train at Branford. ruclips.net/video/1FEPQbKjtt0/видео.html
Not only is it for the New Haven line it’s also rarely used on All lines and Shoreline east but CT rail owns shore line east so ct rail also has them
1:32 - what a wonderful stabilization...

Another cool train meet.
Awesome train 🚂 meet with the New Jersey train n🚂 cars
Thanks for this. New transit cars and all…Wow!
Train Cars, Transit Cars and Locomotives Do Have A End Date: Looks Like A New Replacement To Me

Great catch there!
Love how smooth this is especially from a moving vehicle. Thankyou!
Thanks
I never get tired of the old blue caboose on the end. 😁👍
Not every day that we get to see new rail cars, before they are put into actual service. Great job on catching the train meet.
Thank you! Cheers!

Really appreciate the episodes. Nice to see for a long time rail fan and nice to know people still out there filming.
Can’t believe how bent those rails are when viewed by your tele lens…
It was a very awesome train meet at 9:40!!! Hahahaha!🤣
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
11:08 Track ahead of approaching train looked like it needed more ballast.
So cool seeing the Metro-North cars attached to that first train. Also the transit cars are most likely for the New Haven line
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.
Nice Catches
CSX has decided to use these as their new caboose. LOL great catch Mike!
I’ve never seen transit cars on a fright train that’s so cool
Another great train meet with the transit cars attached. Man that CSX I009 was flyin' and cool NS & CSX Lash up in chase mode. Cheers Mike! 👍
Thank you very much!
My first and Second favorite train companies!
Chameleon GA use to have this kind of traffic. I would go to watch trains there as a kid
I recognize a lot of the shipping container/trailer logos but went OMG at 12:06 to recognize one from my home state of WI. Had to replay it a few times. Marten Transport from Mondovi, WI.
That's cool 😎
Them transit cars looked good and were a neat surprise! As always, loved the YN2s!
Love the sound of those diesels working hard in the distance and then suddenly they're upon you and rushing past.

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.
Basically the same reaction I have when I see a NS locomotive sitting in UP's Eugene, OR yard. "Oh boy, you're a ways away from home"
Love hearing the quiet rolling of those new wheels on the m8's, lol!
You and me both!
Awesome images. Excellent camerawork.
*OMG* those look like *Metro north* train cars! That’s SUPER AWESOME! nice job wwot, also, that’s pretty rare! Or *New transit*

Thanks
Great fire at the end
Greetings from Port Saint Lucie, Florida !
Awesome new transit cars
The CSX M368 with the new transit cars was excellent. Love the red trim they had...
Always loved trains … something about them, very cool 👍
Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. 😉 Excellent luck in catching the transit cars and topping that with the train meeting.
Very true!
Wow that is amazing to see And another train coming ❤
Yes, thanks
