Anybody think Amtrak returning to Grand Central can benefit? Like GC has so many tracks, it would really make use of Grand Central again and will relieve pressure off Penn
Chad M used to go there all the time, until Empire connection was completed.
M M81 well it should do some again
i agree except most trains are know thru trains between Boston and Washington and Florida. So doing so would cause those trains to be cut in two which would marginalize Amtrak's profit. And if they move the Albany / Montreal/ Toronto bound trains to GCT them a crosstown transfer would be needed.
Yeah, GCT is so much nicer than Penn, plus the Metro North Penn Station Access Program could work, with the eased up congestion.
I think maybe some of the lines should go there, but Amtrak should stick to Penn. Having the throughway platforms is extremely convenient, the location is great, and having most trains in that one place would make transfers much simpler.
kinda cool seeing that Amtrak cars can work perfectly at Grand Central
why would you think they would not work there
now this is something you don't see everyday. Amtrak setd diverted to Grand Central. I remember catching amtrak trains at GCT for the 2012 National Train Day event. Imagine if the consists led by Sprinter locomotives werw brought into the terminal by BL20GH
it's great to have all Amtrak trains in one terminal. it the pits to transfer thru the subway to make your connection. in Boston you need to transfer from South station to North station to get from the NEC to noreaster service.
Holy crap! Amtrak on the Metro North?! Wow!
They share a station in Nee Rochelle
and Yonkers and Harmon
And Poughkeepsie.
And Stamford
And New Haven
1:49 one of the few catches I've seen on RUclips with a P32AC-DM running in electric mode only with diesel still shut down
Can't wait for the LIRR to Grand Central in the future
Michael Morales oh yeah the East Side Access
MTABOY1738 Rails yup
And the Metro North to Hunts Point
Michael Morales ghhjjhhhhj
***** In the 2020s
There should be tracks connecting grand central to penn station/mohayyn train hall
Well they should send some Amtrak trains to Grand Central normally.
FinXDrone63 Pro. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeee (that means yes)
FinXDrone63 Pro. Ya it's cul
FinXDrone63 Pro. How bout Metro North to Penn Station lol
Wish granted, FinX. :-3As part of that Summer repair program at Penn Station, some Amtrak trains are actually being rerouted to/from GCT for the Summer.
The MTA is working on it though who knows when that will happen. The first phase is to bring New Haven Line trains into Penn Station via the Hell Gate Bridge (that would be quite the ride for commuters). The next phase would be to bring Hudson Line trains to Penn Station via the Empire Connection.
Does anyone think Empire service, Maple Leaf, Adirondack, and Ethen Allen express will return to Grand Central when the Airo trains arrive?
TIME - 7:30 TRACK - null DESTINATION - CROTON-HARMON REMARKS - ALBANY
Sounds good
Loved the shots from Harlem-125!
I was wondering why Amtrak Trains Go to the Hudson Line. Like where they came from. Sometimes it’s Grand Central or Just Mostly Penn.. I thought it was Weird to have Amtrak Trains at Grand Central 42nd Street.
During the summer 6 empire service trains are supposed to go to Grand Central because of construction at penn station
Can this just happen forever?? I get that NYP is more used, but I feel like Amtrak would have benefits if they used some Northeast Regional routes at GCT.
I was in art class on Friday looking out the classroo, window when I saw this train passing by because my school has a good view of seeing the metro north passed by
Where?
Go to I.S 151 in the Bronx and the tunnel is under us so we trains pass by
Milton R142AProduction Lucky you.
MiltonR62Productions I wonder if the math teacher Mr. Jones is still there or S.S. teacher Ms. Arabhman (Sure I brutalized that)?
Nice catch!
Crazy catch. Good vid
Imagine a Metro-North or LIRR train car on MTA subway lines! (I did not include Amtrak cause it's too big)
RJ Productions would it fit?
MNR AND LIRR equipment are approximately 3 feet wider than their NYC subway brethren, so unfortunately they won't fit. If the dimensions of the subway system allowed it, your idea would be pretty cool to see....
Okay...what about an R44 labled "SIR" on MTA subway lines?
The R44s were actually on the NYC subway for a while before a couple of decades ago where MTA started the process of pulling them into early retirement due to "structural integrity issues". The R44s running on SIR had these issues addressed in two overhaul programs, so that's how MTA is still able to run these things. To summarize, the SIR R44s could still run on the NYC subway. Fun fact: the R211S next generation car is currently slated to replace the R44s by the year 2023 (supposedly)....
I mean like an R44 that was SAS'd for SIR service, not the junky ones that originally ran on the MTA subway system.
how did Amtrak get into grand central I know Amtrak got dual-mode locomotive with 3rd rail shoes but aint the shoes for LIRR 3rd rail to get into Penn station did they run the locomotive into Grand Central in diesel power
I believe the dual modes can use both over-running (LIRR) or under-running (MNRR) 3rd rail.
+roadjdr4678 They Probably Ran the set out of the East River Tunnel to New Rochelle, Then Reversed into Grand Central.
As a Chicagoan I thought Amtrak terminated both at GCT and Penn Station
Mon-Fri All Amtrak trains should terminate at GCT from north and some boston trains but on the Fr-Sun intercity trains goes to penn and empire corridor goes GCT with busing for transfer
They should send all trains to Grand Central as their normal terminus. And some should go to Penn Station OCCASIONALLY. And LIRR should go to GC STRAIGHT NORMALLY WHEN ESA (East Side Access) is finished.
It would seem that with so much capacity for trains at GC, Amtrak would take advantage of the space and relieve Penn Station which is horribly congested all the time. The crowding is rediculous. Why not run the Canadian departures to Toronto and Montreal through GC, and even the Lake Shore Ltd as well. It makes no sense to waste GC's capacity after the numerous costly renovations. The only use for the tunnels and tracks now seems to go to the homeless inhabitants who live under GC Terminal.
Hasn't happened since the 1990s!
wow extremely rare
Why there is a Amtrak on MTA MNRR on Grand Central Terminal?
There was a derailment at Pennsylvania Station yesterday morning.
it wasn;t until i went to grand central that i realized it wasn;t an amtrak station
I wish this would happen more often.
Metro north p32 at croton
Umm why the random comment????
I saw this train at 153rd andvYankee stadium
Well Amtrak trains barley fit, being designed for the smaller metro north trains. Or the extra space was for steam to go out before electric and diesel was invented. Don't even think superliners will fit at all
Did The Amtrak train derailment killed or injured people
Wow big train!!
How the heck were they able to ventilate all those diesel fumes? The whole premise for GC's tracks being built underground was so they can run electrified trains that wouldn't need ventilation.
Those diesel trains are in electric mode
Lol, I saw Fan Railer do a similar video on the same event.
When? I didn't see it on his channel. Send me a link
was the loop track used to turn the train
Likely no as it was fitted with two engines.
Whoa
There is a amrak that goes to Grand Central, it is empire service!
it was only a temporary detour
Oh well, someone replied 3 years later, noice
them trains having problems in NJ at Penn station
so cool
amazing now that's rare
tubblescousine2 ...!
Button push to drop u off in great lights
Typically, trains using grand central have a cab car on the rear. This train has another locomotive in lieu of a cab car. Why?
TheNw1218 fairly sure Amtrak doesn't own any cab cars.
the simulation nerd They do, actually. Converted Amfleet cars used on the Keystone Service.
TheNw1218 or old F40PH engines converted NPCUs (non powered control units).
They are former Metroliners from the Penn Central era.
Casual Android Oops. Forgot about those.
I like amtrak
How did this happen?
Michael Morales This is more than likely an Empire Builder Service, which access Penn Station from the Hudson Line via the West Side Line.
Casual Android I think you mean Empire Service. The Empire Builder runs between Chicago and Seattle/Portland.
the simulation nerd Oh, yeah my fault.
Casual Android Honest mistake my friend.
Amtrak Empire Service.
How could they run to GCT under diesel power?
Michael Marfil GCT was made to allow Diesel, since there is no cantenary system in GCT
Michael Marfil they use third rail shoes once they enter the tunnel
The Amtrak P32s don't have under-running shoes as far as I know.
Michael Marfil amtrak's p32's third rail shoes can switch from high to low
I've heard everywhere else that they can't switch to under-running....
notification squad where u at
Me. JK
About 50-100 people watched before me because I was watching the season finale of Star Wars Rebels instead of my notifications.
