Shot out the rear of a Metro North M-2 MU car
as it travels express through the almost
rebuilt SS22 SHELL interlocking in New
Rochelle, NY. The Amtrak Hellgate line now
connects with New Haven Line tracks 2 and 4.
The old pocket track 6 became track 4 and
track 2 now platforms. New crossovers were
installed at EAST SHELL and WEST SHELL, some
good for 80mph. The curve is now rated for
50mph, while the Amtrak connection is good
for 45, up from 15. The rebuild took about
5+ years and cost $93 million. Tags :MNRRAmtrakSHELLInterlockingNHSS22
Riding Metro-North RailRoad's Hudson Line,
Poughkeepsie bound train was approaching 125
st Station in Harlem, Manhattan. This clip
takes us out of the underground of Park Av
and into the 125th St Station.
I like how I capture the moment of coming out
of the underground and then as I watch the
view of Harlem, another train (an M3 model
nonetheless) goes right by. LOL! Enjoy! Tags :Metro-NorthRailRoad
Shot out the front of a Metro North M-2 MU
car as it travels through the center Park Ave
tunnel on its way to Grand Central passing an
outbound P32DM heading up a Hudson Line
train. Had to bail out at the end when the
conductor showed up. Note the cab signal
drop alarms. Tags :MNRRM-2MUParkAveTunnelNYCheadview
Shot out the front of a Metro North M-2 MU
car as it travels express through WOODLAWN
interlocking at the junction of the Harlem
and New Haven Lines. Train takes the track 4
flyover the Harlem line, but unfortunately
the high speed run is ruined by a diverging
move at the central part of the interlocking
onto the inner track of the Harlem trunk
line. Speed is 45 MPH. Note the NYC signal
bridge at the south end of the plant that now
holds junction indicators to prevent
misroutes. Tags :MNRRM-2MUInterlockingTowerWOODLAWNJunction
