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

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!

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.

Crazy catch. Good vid

Nice catch!

During the summer 6 empire service trains are supposed to go to Grand Central because of construction at penn station

TIME - 7:30 TRACK - null DESTINATION - CROTON-HARMON REMARKS - ALBANY Sounds good

Does anyone think Empire service, Maple Leaf, Adirondack, and Ethen Allen express will return to Grand Central when the Airo trains arrive?

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.

Wow big train!!

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

it wasn;t until i went to grand central that i realized it wasn;t an amtrak station

As a Chicagoan I thought Amtrak terminated both at GCT and Penn Station

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)....

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.

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.

Hasn't happened since the 1990s!

Lol, I saw Fan Railer do a similar video on the same event.

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.
