Railfanning NYC: Grand Central, Penn Station, Harlem/125 Station, and More!

- Опубликовано: 25 мар 2017
- We spent an afternoon at the Harlem 125th Street Station, which hosts a plethora of inbound and outbound trains into Grand Central Terminal. I had been wanting to see a New Haven style P32ACDM, and we got treated to two of them in about a two hour span! We also got some footage inside Grand Central, as well as a quick trip to Penn Station where we saw an NJ Transit train. Thanks for watching, and don't forget to subscribe!

I'm very stressed person, but watching ur videos is so relaxing. Sometimes I do it right before I go to sleep and it helps me a lot. Honestly I don't know that much about trains but it looks very interesting to watch. Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks, much appreciated!
How amazing video/photography is. New worlds with different tales emerge from the normal, every day life.
8:27 gotta love that loco!
This train is so cool
I love this. Thanks - subscribed. From London , UK x
This video is great! Awesome quality I loved it! I'm subbing up I don't want to miss out!
Ain't nothing like some train railfanning before going to bed!
That telephoto lens makes the trains in the distance look as if they're climbing up a 30% grade!
pops whippersnapper it’s not just the lens... the drop into grand central is quite steep. I’m not familiar enough to know hot steep though
12:09 I noticed another cab car in the middle of that train!
13:59 nice catch of two trains 'racing' each other!
I also liked seeing the P32s diesel prime movers revving up as they leave 125th street station!
What i find odd about Metro-North's EMUs is that they are all 2-car units, but you don't see just a 2-car train. So why not just make them 3-car or 4-car units?
Great Video & when I’m out there I always try fit in a ride on MNRR !!!
Superb footage 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Very nice!!!
great video, Florida Railfan, just wanted to let you know that Grand Central is not Grand Central Station but Grand Central Terminal as the tracks come into grand central and come to an end. In most cases a Station is used to describe a through station, where the tracks run through and past the station. A Terminal is considered a start and ending point for a trains journey, as I am sure you are aware. I just wanted to point that out to be helpful!
Thanks for the tip and glad you enjoyed it!
Except when we discuss Penn Station which is indeed THE terminus for Amtrak in NYC.
There are Amtrak through trains at NYPenn.
There are multiple Grand Central Stations, they service the NYC subway system, the commuter trains function from the terminal. Great video Florida Railfan.
@@johnmichalski6174 Penn Station is a Terminal for NJ Transit and LIRR, not Amtrak.
Lovely to see 😙
I remember all of the video from GCT . I worked there back in the Conrail time.
Just FYI its Park Ave and 97th Street where the trains go under into the tunnel you can watch there if you want to.
The track at Harlem 125th Street are some of the smoothest in the country, I don't see any cars swaying side to side. Is it just freight tracks that are allowed to become so uneven?
high quality camera looks great love nyc almost as much as my town london
Thanks glad you liked it, and yeah I only get more and more impressed with my camera
1:14 That M8 was on the Hudson Line Yankees- E 153rd Street is a station on that line if u don’t know what I’m talking about
Cool video!
They both knew when to whistle at 14:09 mins cool
How's the air quality down there at Grand Central? The ceilings seem very low (just like at many subway stations in NYC) but most of the trains there are diesel trains... also seems like it is a lot louder than what I'm used to with most trains being electric here.
The above ground station you filmed at for most of the video, does ALL the traffic to an from Grand Central go through there, or is it just a part of it?
Don't remember anything specific about the air quality, although I'm sure there is some top notch filtration. As for the traffic. The Harlem Street Metro North Station sees the same train traffic, although there is much more subway traffic down in the actual station. You can see the metro north tracks duck underground in the video, that leads into Grand Central. There are dozens of subway platforms and about 8 for metro north in Grand Central
@@FloridaRailfan thank you; Yeah I followed the tracks from Grand Central northbound and found the station, but I wasn't sure if there are further tracks in other directions besides the subway tracks. Being from Europe it's uncommon to see a large central station without a wide and long-stretched field of tracks in front of / on both sides of the station.
Thus e.g. here there up to 37 parallel going tracks heading towards the central station here, and the field of tracks stretches for more than 3 miles before actually reaching the station
Nice
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Very good railfan video; I've done this myself it's great fun and non-stop action. Have one question not really pertaining to trains; do you have any idea what building that is that we see over and over in your video, look at 5:55 at the right side , grey brick and stone building. Love to know the address; as soon as this pandemic is over I plan to visit NYC and look this up.
I have no clue, I was totally out of my element here and just happy we found the station haha. I will say it’s the Harlem station looking south, so if you do enough digging on maps you may have some luck.
Hmm, I should try doing chores and save up money to go to America.
I travel metro North to the city every so often, well is ok until i got to grant central and find my out to which exit is another story but is very exciting. New Yorkers go TROUGH Alot to get onr point to another, nevermind the stairs.
I commuted from Rye to Grand Central Terminal over a 30 year period when they still had Bar Car and Smoking Car sometimes at 5:30 am only to get on a subway to get to work. But I was younger and it was exciting.

Too bad Amtrak doesn’t use Grand Central. Not enough tracks I guess. I grew up about one hour north of New York City I grew up about one hour north of the New York City. I used to take Metro North a lot. 👍👍 Awesome video!!

*I m Vietnam. Great video. Sub you!*
Rip getting the Hew Haven blocked by the other Train
Grand Central Terminal has a LOT of tracks! I knew it had quite a few, but not THAT many!
That was just one side of the station...there's countless subway lines through there as well, I think 44 if I'm not mistaken
Looks like 29 tracks on one level and 17 on the other: 46 total.

A new LIRR station is under construction beneath the existing Grand Central Terminal!
There will be 8 more tracks.

@@JBigjake didn't it originally have over one hundred total? Halcyon days of rail...
Wiki says originally 123 tracks, but many were for storage, without platforms.
I can only dream...
The worst thing was dismantling the HIGH LINE RAILROAD........ NY will regret this like the 3rd Avenue Line
are all white trains are local train???
7:16 You got Scared
Startled me!
3:24 why is there an Amtrak train? Didn't they stop going to Grand Central?
That would be at Penn Station, which they still serve
Some of them rerouted rn for station enchantments at Penn
u dont junmp when train horn?! next time u come here help me railfan haha lol
Stupid (?) question ... Electric (3rd rail) or all diesel engines . Some looks like diesel ( pertol) some looks like subway. Sorry Im not in the US but in France. For us electric = Top wires (execpt underground who is 3rd rail) thank you
I'm not too familiar with the mechanics of the American electric operations myself, although the diesel locomotives are diesel powered when they're not in tunnels. When they enter tunnels, they switch over to the electric third rail as to not emit exhaust in the tunnel. Some of the subway looking trains are purely electric via the third rail, other subways, like the red ones, are diesel and electric and operate the same way the diesel locomotives operate in tunnels. This is what I've gathered myself, it could very well be all wrong. Maybe somebody with more knowledge will see this and chime in. Hope that helped!
OK, Merci., thanks. In France for all major cities (Partis, Lyon, Marseilles ....) all trains are electics ones by wires (up) only metros are 3rd rail powered. (nearly) All cities have electric trains relationship, and many of them are High Speed(TGV) trains who go 200 Mp/h (500 miles = 3 hours)
I have been wanting to watch the TGV for years!! My girlfriend is riding it over the summer, I told her to take as many pictures as possible. I would love to watch your TGVs!!
Some trains have overhead wires. The northeast corridor between Boston and Washington is electric from above the whole way. These lines are 3rd rail in the city and only some are electrified the whole way. The locomotive pulled ones switch to diesel when the 3rd rail ends.

Alot of these are from terminal railways
