Love your video. I take this train as part of my daily commute from NYC to Poughkeepsie. There was a conductor who described this train as the "sunset express" over the intercom. For me, it's the "commuter express" - to home!
Thank you SO much for allowing me the chance to travel right there in the seat next to you. You videos and expert narration puts me right there on the train with you!!!
I can’t thank you enough for posting this! My father and I enjoyed watching and listening to your narration. Dad worked installing signals in the nyc subway system on assignment with general railroad signal from 1959 to 1962. He’s 84 now and you bring much joy and conversation into our virtual rail fanning time . Keep up the great work.
Your Metro North train ride to Poughkeepsie was the best express ride I have ever seen. There was not lots of slow speeds while skipping the stations between Harlem-125 Street and Beacon. That is how an express ride is supposed to be.
I'll watch just about any train vid...especially by a retired dude like me. I used to take metro North to GCT from Rye NY when I went 'downtown' to party. Your 'NY' accent sounds just like Walter Matthau in the film.."The Taking of Pelham-123".
I couldn't find your rail trips so thought you weren't doing this anymore. Then I found this one and thanked my lucky stars. Most, if not all of the other trips with commentary don't hold a candle to yours.
Absolutely enjoyed this ride today. Found your commentary interesting, as well. I’ve done MetroNorth to Poughkeepsie and Wassaic many times and Amtrack to Poughkeepsie from Penn station. Thanks for the memories! Look forward to other trips from you.
This was a very scenic trip. It was also well narrated. You missed one small detail. At the Beacon station there is a ferry boat connection to Newburgh. I enjoyed this video immensely. Thank you for taking the time.
Very enjoyable video. Like bring there. Living in Hawaii, it’s not something we experience. Haven’t ridden on a train since living in Tokyo late 80’s. Grew up riding the B&M in and out of Boston. Your pace and detail of narration is perfect! Thanks!
When you crossed the East River I noticed that isolated rail line on the waterfront and immediately wondered what it was. Then you answered my question! Great minds…
Fantastic video, spectacular scenery, outstanding narration and very nostalgic for me as I was a regular rider from Croton-Harmon to GCT right around the time the M1's were introduced.
The end is near for the P32 DM on mnrr. The first 2 Semiens Sprinters built for NY MTA are off the assembly line and at the testing grounds in Pueblo CO.
Always enjoy your posts, especially the ride-alongs!! This trip is on my “must-do” list for the Spring. Will take Amtrak one way and Metro North the other (not sure of the order yet). While in Poughkeepsie want to take a run across the Walkway Over The Hudson!
I take the 5:08 home every day, except that day, March 18th, 2022. I was actually recovering from St. Patrick's Day at Mahoney's the day before. This is great commentary. Thank you! I do believe the current 5:29 out of GCT serves as the longest point to point non-stop. It runs from GCT to Beacon without the stop at Harlem 125th St.
I love taking this train out of Grand Central! Otis elevator building is now the Yonkers Public Library. Domino sugar 20:20 is still there though! The now abandoned Yonkers Power Station at 22:20 used to supply power to NYC trains before Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant took over.
That ex New York Central main up the Hudson River is a beautiful ride. I got a cab ride years out from NYC to Albany. Best ride I ever had. Thanks for sharing.
Amtrak should run trains from Grand Central again, like they used to. The Lake Shore limited (successor to the 20th Century Limited), used to run From Grand Central, before being moved to Penn.
Agreed Roast Beef. Even if its just 1-2 Roundtrips per day between only Albany and Grand Central. Plus with the LIRR about to start service (here in late 2022)it could also help with overcrowding with riders going to/from Long Island and the Hudson River Valley/Albany area.
Fantastic video as always Tim, and a great way to spend a lazy Saturday Afternoon! I used to make this round-trip as part of my Albany-Empire run every weekend in 2018 and part of 2019 before moving down into the city. I really would love to someday see Metro-North expansion northward into the Capital Region but the politics behind it are daunting. I also really enjoy your narration and the historical perspectives in your videos. You and Danny Harmon down in Tampa, FL are my two favorite channels on RUclips for railfanning and rail history. Thanks again!!! -SR
Steve, I could not agree with you more about your 2 favorite RUclips channels. Danny Harmon of Distant Signal and the retired railfan. They are outstanding narration and quality video always. Keep up the great work. Robert in Lagrande Oregon
I've only ridden this line from Peekskill to GCT. RDC to Croton, connecting to EMU to GCT. Very enjoyabke ride on a Sunday with spectacular views!! Thank you for posting this video😀😀💙
Considering that the East usually loses out to the West when it comes to railroad scenery, I've always said that the ride up the Hudson to Albany is the most scenic Amtrak ride in the East, and that obviously goes for Metro-North as well. It would seem that limited passenger service on that Beacon to Danbury line would be a good idea. Thanks for the bonus coverage of Poughkeepsie.
Awesome ride on Metro North #849 to Poughkeepsie also on March 27th the other two Hotshots MN train #853 & #863 will be reinstated and MN trains #853 is one hell of a hotshot because it only stops in Beacon, New Hamburg, & Poughkeepsie Skips all stops including 125th street highly reccomend.
I can imagine this looks beautiful in the summer with all the leaves out, right now it looks a little depressing with all the bare trees; spring can't come soon enough.
Another great vid with superb narration! Well done! Like someone else said, you and “Distant Signal” ‘s Danny Harmon are naturals! 👍🏻 To somewhat finish your story … the South Penn Ry was graded in sections before the truce was called. Vandy (& NYC) didn’t know what to do with it until the Pennsy Turnpike bought some of it to use in the highway construction - but I don’t know / remember which part(s). (This was from an old Model Railroader story.)
. BF operated that train a few times in the past. Quite a enjoyable ride for the engineer too. May I suggest doing 943 or 953 next time? Those two are the longest distance thru trains from GCT. Clocking in at 82 miles.
I think eventually we may get a thru train to Waterbury again now that sidings have been added to the branch and signals. Cdot plans to add service. If they do that, that'll be the longest thru run
Nice. I live up the hill from Polipel Island (where Bannerman’s Arsenal is located). Breakneck Ridge station is located south of MP55, which you passed just before you reached Bannerman’s. Correct, the Beacon Line passed overhead just before CP58, where it connects to the Hudson Line. It was formerly the “Beacon Secondary” that connected the Maybrook Line to the Hudson Line at Hopewell Junction. After the Poughkeepsie Bridge burned, both eastern part of the Maybrook Line and the Beacon Secondary eventually became the “Beacon Line.” It is out of service, still owned by Metro North (MNR). MNR gave freight trackage rights to the Housatonic Rail Road, which does not use it. The line has yet to be sold.
This was nice! I've never been on Metro-North before, but I watch videos of it all the time. This train looks fun to ride, and the fact that it stops at Harlem then skips all the way to Beacon reminds me of the Cannonball on the LIRR. The Hudson Line is also one of my favorite Rail Lines in the USA. I'm supposed take an Amtrak trip up to Rochester soon, and I'm excited to finally see the Hudson Line in person! I also like that you talked with that engineer at the end. He seemed very friendly. Anyways, I enjoy your videos, and have a nice day.
Can't wait til a couple more days when the 5:29 super express train is reinstated(nonstop to Beacon)..my fav service along with the 5:41 New Haven Line service(nonstop to Fairfeikd)
Great Ride !!!! By the way in Tarrytown it used to be GM assembly plant for Oldsmobile Silhouette Pontiac Transport and Chevy Lumina The area was heavily contaminated It took years to demolish and cleaned out the area It was back filled with clean soil And now it’s becoming another condo water front expensive residential community
I can see me and my friend filming at the restaurant at 25:54 lol. Also amazing video I would one day like to travel up to Poughkeepsie on one of those weekday peak trains. The M3A at Croton Harmon track 4 38:17 was my ride back manage to get a RFW ride from Dobbs Ferry to 125th. Unfortunately Metro North doesn’t allow you to film in the park avenue tunnel because of the signals. I heard it was because of some privacy thing not to sure what It is. Anyways amazing video man I really enjoy watching your stuff👍
I am aware of the Western section of that road. It is not a continuous interstate. In our region of the country it ends in Scranton, Pa. Quite a gap there. Btw. Nampa is a Union Pacific crew change point.
Are you considering doing Metro North trains #943 or #953 to Wassaic or one of the four Danbury Branch Directs to Danbury? If so I highly recommend to wait until March 27th because that's when they're adding new trains.

I really enjoy your content. However, I was wondering how ticketing for these various railroads worked? Is it possible to buy a pass and ride on say a Metro North and a NJ Transit train with the same ticket? Do they code share like airlines? I was wondering how it all ties together or is it all individually purchased segments? Also, are there different prices for the different railroads or are they pretty similar in pricing structure? I live where trains aren’t really an option but there is talk about linking some of our biggest cities by rail (Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton and Cincinnati) and I don’t have any knowledge of passenger rail in terms of “brands” or pricing versus driving etc and was hoping you could touch on this topic on one of your rides?
Pretty much individual Metro North tickets. Good on MN for length of trip desired. No passes other than monthly and weekly commutation tickets. I often wish that Metro-North had a day pass we could ride all over the system for a fixed price unlimited rides
Los Angeles' Metrolink may still offer all-you-can-ride weekend passes for $10. But you need to be well versed on the timetables, since the weekend schedule is pretty sparse.
Hello! Question for you - any idea why they start the diesel engines pretty early in the trip? The 3rd rail goes up to Croton I think, but seems the P32 starts up the diesel even before exiting the park avenue tunnel. Weird. Thank you!
@@wavesnbikes OMG!! Well, it’s a former New York Central line. I definitely like the New York Central steam engines better than the Pennsy’s but I am a little bit quieter than he is
hey, did ghost engineer's schedule get changed around. I heard in one for your videos the one in harlem that he runs 849 on wednesdays-fridays. i was in poughkeepsie today and the engineer was not ghost engineer
Might I make a suggestion when you take these train trips. Photographing your trip through a passenger window takes away a lot of interesting scenes. You loose a lot of the action plus most of the windows you are shooting from are dirty, especially the SEPTA equipment.
Thank you SO much for allowing me the chance to travel right there in the seat next to you. You videos and expert narration puts me right there on the train with you!!!
