*27:08** - What a sunset 🌇*

In 2001 a friend from Seattle sent me a VHS tape on the Hudson Subdivision including the Amtrak Turbo Train cab ride. I could never be there to see those trains close to me, it is my main dream in life, believe me. And now I could find your channel and I am enjoying this video almost feeling like I were there. My smartphone screen is excellent, so I can see the perfection of the images your camera captured. You just gained one more viewer.

Very cool!

Excellent footage! The CXC horns from across the grand Hudson River was a great addition!

Probably my favorite Hudson Line station. The views of the river are beyond compare

6:20 I love that little "mmph" of disapproval you gave the engineer for that little toot! 😂

I was just clearing my thrust. 😀

I was up in Arsley on Hudson on Tuesday it’s a beautiful train station and saw Conductor Paul as well in Dobbs Ferry where I saw a couple New Haven Heritage coming through, very scenic line on the Hudson.

The hudson line is probably my favorite Metro north line, good video.

Another great video, that day I went to Croton Harmon and was onboard Metro North 870 going back to Grand Central!!!! Lol!!!!! I might add I got on train 733 to Croton Harmon. I stayed there for about an hour then I went back to Grand Central. I left Grand Central about an hour and 1/2 before you did on 739.

Nice one ……

funny enough Metro North announced a new heritage unit program, they plan to have a New York Central HU, a Conrail HU, and a Penn Central HU, they currently have a P32AC-DM in the old paint scheme the FL9's wore, ofc all the units are gonna be wrapped but still, Metro North Heritage Units :)

Great spot. Thanks

Wow Ghost Engineer was sure happy to see you.....too bad I didn't see that NH locomotive with the Penn Central decal on it lol

Man - you had a Bulldog day - lots of great trains - thank you for posting

I always enjoy vids from my home county...especially on the Hudson line and also New Haven line (where I grew up...)

Poughkeepsie, being my home station and living 5 minutes away, I wish we would get updated train cars or more importantly electrified lines! The upper Hudson is very neglected. Maybe not as much as the west of the Hudson lines, but we pack trains and have super express. We need new cars.

Why aren't the P32's in third rail mode through here? There is third rail electrification

The locomotives work better in diesel mode. an electric mode they aren’t very fast or reliable

Amtrak is faster on the Hudson line in Metro North as well

Wrong. There is only 1 set of passenger speeds and many times when amtrak shows up late, they are stuck behind a MNR local and creep along

Beautiful view 😊😊😊

Any serious talk of Hudson Line service into Penn Station?

Thanks for the tip on the ticket discounts. New Haven to Montauk next.

We sound similar!

i'm impressed again your videos are amazing and educating very much more scenic on the hudson line on metro north and amtrak itself but i saw more of metro north than amtrak that time you went railfanning but no judgement on that issue. i'd seen a few CSX trains back in january on the harrison station in metro north very goodfor me at night.

8:32 that ship is flying.

I know the metro north platforms tend to be shorter than the lirr platforms, but I wonder why they never expanded them. Surely the ridership would justify 12 car trains. I’m guessing it would be too expensive at this point to expand the platforms.

I would say because metro north runs so many trains, they don't need to be as long.

Thank you for this excellent video ! I agree with your commentator from Poughkeepsie it really is time for the push-pull stock on that route to be replaced. I wonder if it would be possible to have some bi-level cars like those on the LIRR, which would be a huge improvement ! Perhaps the Park Avenue tunnels would prevent this ?

You should go out 4/3. Amtrak announced recently that they’re restoring full service to Montreal on the Adirondack that day!

Do you know why Metro North blows the horn approaching the station but the LIRR doesn't? I always wondered why that is.

MNR runs more trains more often than LIRR did and therefore we don't need 12 car trains.

How come there is no third rail on one of the tracks?

They use the diesels on that track. Many of the trains use diesels so the other 3 tracks suffice for mu trains

So many double cab car trains! Why do a lot of metro north shoreliners have trains with 2 or 3 cabcars? dont they only need one? Ive seen them a lot more often now rather than earlier so it was cool to see the controls of the train on the second cabcar
