Great video from Long Island City,?from the east side terminal of Manhattan to new Rochelle New York to the new heaven line metro north railroad. Great work!
I see a lot of high speed crossovers here. These allow trains to travel from one track over to another one and not have to slow down. Looks good to me.
Can wait the project has started soon metro north will run there I know the m8 will need a lot of testing before they get send there but there a question where I know it’s early but where the metro north at Penn station will be Amtrak or lirr platform
12:01 - 12:02 Looks like there is a piece of track left over from the early 1950s re-connection from the NYNH&H mainline, and the NYW&B E. 180th viaduct.
New York Connecting Railroad, which was part owned by the New Haven. I believe the NHRR was responsible for operating and maintaining everything east of Fresh Pond.
The PT&T portion of the line was always a bit of a hybrid that most closely resembled the 1915/18 Philadelphia electrification. Remember the Bay Ridge Branch was 11kv electrified.
@@robertewalt7789 I was a passenger conductor who worked out of South Station to GCT and Penn Station. Pelham Manor as I recall was an overgrown, abandoned or shuttered station on the left hand side heading toward the HGB. It did have a station sign still legible in the 1970s. I used the station as a marker in my preparations for arriving at Penn Station. I cannot rightly say how far down the line it was from New Rochelle Junction toward Harlem River Yard and Oak Point Yard. I do know this much that at one time long ago there was local service there to New York City.
If Metro-North is going to send some New Haven Line trains to Penn Station while opening four Bronx stations as a result of East Side Access opening up berths in Penn Station, then they should consider reopening Pelham Manor.
@@WakkoKakko I doubt there would be enough demand to support it. It'd be so close to Pelham and New Rochelle stations. I imagine the push back aganist it would be severe. NIMBYism would kill it. Residents around Pelhamdale Av wouldnt want a station next to their massive homes. Its only a couple mins to Pelham or New Ro anyway. While it would put a station in walking distance for parts of Pelham Manor and a little of extreme southern New Ro, not enough people around there would value that to make it happen. Plus the MTA's limited resources are unlikely to be used expanding service to a small area already with multiple Metro North stations nearby, plus within 10 mins of NYC subway stations on the 5 and 6 line.
I see Amtrak is interested in one thing, getting you from point A to point B. Cleanliness of the roadbed? Too much money 💰 to clean and Amtrak doesn't care.
4:52 connection to the Bay Ridge Brooklyn line and LIRR at Maspeth
Thank you. That was the Best 24 minutes I spent in a long time.
Nice seeing how much the class A track has welded rail and concrete everlast ties.

The ones in service are all Limited Speed turnouts, 45mph.

I did not know this line existed

Isn't this the tracks of the old New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad?

4:06 PRR catenary pole?

That third track (seen on the left) on the bridge is still used for freight?
Yup
There is no electric on the 3rd track to the left where the freight train was seen
I missed it, is Pelham Manor station still standing?
Pelham Manor had a Station? It is close to both New Rochelle and Pelham Stations.

Front views are soooo much better than where you've been.

WTF ? Single track catenary ?
It's a two track line.
@@PositionLight The catenary appears to be above one track only.
@@farmerdave7965 It's above Amtrak tracks 1 and 2. No Catenary on the CSX track.
