- Yes another remade episode of engines of metro north. But this is about a special piece of equipment, the budd m1 and m3. The m1 started out in 1968 and was only retired in 2006/2009 which is almost 40 years of service. The m3's started out in 1982 and are still providing reliable service today. Both multiple units have served metro north and the long island railroad well and the m3's will continue to do so.

Great remake! Something about a 4-car M3 train at 6:26 is a bit unnerving. Even the West Hempstead branch on the LIRR has a minimum of 6 cars. I'm also having a Q&A video soon if you're interested.
This was back when ridership on the upper Harlem line was low as it had just been electrified. Even 4 cars was an improvement over the previous diesels
@@nyrailfan202 Interesting. And I thought the Greenport or Danbury branches had it bad.
But they had not been electrified. Now the upper Harlem sees 6 or 8 car trains
Don’t know why but these have always been my favorite. Very good video!
Thanks
Another excellent train video nyrailfan202 I am so proud of you. I anxiously await the following train videos too
7:45 Pair 9547 at the railroad museum of Long Island with other cars serving as rail adhesion cars on the railroad.
Great episode also I drive M1 and M3 on Train Sim World TSW, I love those commuter trains in New York
Very nice video I am very excited to watch this new video ! Im a new subscriber and liked the video!
Wooo! New episode!
Indeed
This was brilliant! Your narration is great.

7:49 7:50 with other cars serving as rail adhesion cars on the railroad.
7:53 With the arrival of the M7s, Metro North decided to rebuild the interiors of their M3s to better match the interiors of the M7s.
Epic
Indeed
What were the dates that the LIRR (from the video, sounds like early 1970s?) and Metro North third rail voltages were increased? From the video, it sounds like the LIRR didn't have any more old 600 V/650 V stuff to worry about after the early 1970s, but Metro North had ACMUs for a while afterwards, and FL9s into the 2000s, so what did they do about those things not being designed for the higher voltage?
What happened was this in the 1970s was a third rail voltage increase 600/650v dc LIRR Top Contact third rail & 700v dc New York Central Metro-North bottom contact third rail into 750v DC Third rail for M1& M3s replacement M7 & M9s. If you are able to look at Metro-North look ahead plan M3As are going to be replaced by M9As
You the M9AS are definitely gonna be replacing all the M3AS on the Metro North railroad Harlem and the Hudson lines.
All the new Metro North equipment will not enter service until 2026, right?
They are not sure yet because the M9AS for metro North railroad did not get here yet because they have to finish up the M9S for the Long Island railroad to go to Grand Central terminal Madison Avenue Manhattan.
There not planning the M9A so probably longer than 2026
And is it true that m3 will go in 2026:(
Most likely, could be longer
Hi question is m3 still in north north railroad
Yes
The M3AS on the Metro North is not going nowhere until the M9AS to come and replace them. The Long Island railroad was very smart enough to keep 80 cars of the Long Island railroad on the side. We wish that the Connecticut metro North railroad would of did the same exact thing keeping the M2S M4s M6S around instead of scraping them. There wasn't nothing wrong with the M2S M4s M6S.
@@leecornwell5632 The M2, M4 and M6 were getting old and were outdated, so, they had to get replaced.
How come the Metro North M3 EMUs aren’t retired yet?
Because they’re still working
No the M3AS are not retiring until the M9AS Metro North railroad comes to replace them.
You know why the M3AS are retired yet because they are maintaining them and they are definitely in good condition.
The only reason why the M3AS are not retired yet is because the M9AS are not here yet. However they still have the M3S on the Long Island railroad mix equipments The M9S and the M7S deishels and coaches on the Long Island railroad.
Reupload?
No it’s a remake with a new script and all. Just wanted to improve the quality and information of the original
