I have never seen this before. It looks like this is a maintenance shop, where all of the official Metro-North Railroad trains are being inspected. Keep posting more your guide to the system, MTA. 😀👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🚞
Very nice. Every train in this video: General Electric P32AC-DM, Brookville BL20GH/BL20GHM, Brookville BL14CG, Electro Motive Division GP35R, Bombardier Shoreliner, and Bombardier M7 Now I know why I haven't see BL20GHM number 127 on the Danbury or Waterbury branches it's because it's on the Hudson line.

I'm an electrical fitter, can follow basic schematics (control, power circuits etc). But not on trains! I notice that car electricians Vs say cubicle switchboard type electrician seem to be at opposites! I suspect train electrician is like a car electrician? Which I'm just not good at. Electrical in cars basically don't make logical sense to me (maybe its just me). Anyway, there's a train electrical fitter job going near my area. Wondering if I should apply? To tell you the truth if they supplied a huge scematic drawing and said: What's wrong with this circuit? I'm not going to lie, no idea Lol. But if its about replacing senses, or any hardware fitting, or even running wires here and there, then all good. But interpretting the _exact_ voltage (or worse: current) required at a point in the middle of a schematic drawing? Um embarrassingly I have no idea Lol So confidence level is diagnostics basic, but doing tasks obviously excel. Should I apply? Or best suited to _vehicle_ electricians (where circuits don't make sense Lol).
You guys still can't resolve the flat spots on the wheels. Your Port Jervis/Hoboken trains keep breaking down. NJ Transit makes Metro North look like Kindergarten. Wake up!!!!
@@dabeast4575 yes but bc that contract hasn’t been ratified there is a chance that the employees who got that signing bonus will never actually receive it

It’s one of our shops. We have shops everywhere Croton however has a huge diesel shop where most locomotives go to get serviced.
@@jkdjose OK. : )
@@jkdjose Hold up. Since you are a pro of answering that question, did you work there?
Happy to be a part of this video. There is mistake in the captions. It should read “brakes” and not “breaks”
Great video. It would be wonderful if Metro North allowed the public to visit the Croton-Harmon Works again, as it did for so many years.

Y’all are still doing these videos? Good job.
Yes this was a nice one.
you guys should do one in GCT electricians that maintain the building automation system of the hvac system. It's pretty cool
Locomotives are BL20GH Brookville 202 GE Wabtec P32AC-DM Budd M3A and M7A Bombardier
I worked for MUNI in SF and we called them “The BAD BOYS” they huge monsters😆 They just BIG APPLIANCES that’s what they are😆
Great video. Although I really wish the film crew would visit the CT shops more.
They should create a video explaining why they paint their elevated structure green, I’ve always wondered why green and not red or gray
It use to be light brown when I was growing up.
@@amazing50000 That is still there with the Metro North Park Avenue elevated in Manhattan!
@@TBF_1J You are right. I forgot about the MMR elevated structure around Harlem being light brown.
Nice
Any guidance for an apprentice to study for the Transit Electrical Helpers exam?
Which shop did this maintainer work at? What was his craft before his 5 years in radio?
Imagine what they make in a year wow!!!!!!
Not much. That's why they can't hire anyone

Why does 401 not have any logos and stripes?
Looks kinda creepy
I guess it’s a maintenance train
@@Boypogikami132ok Nononono
401 and 402 got their cogeneration recycle logos removed
The BL14CG’s got repainted
I never knew mta had a p40
I think they have around 30 or more. They're used for the Hudson line and Danbury branch
They have 30 P32AC-DM dual mode locos. They are similar in appearance to Amtrak's P40s, but less HP.

The port Jervis line NJ transit services the equipment and MTA service the tracks.
