Metro-North GCT to Poughkeepsie.

That was a exciting cab ride love MN!

[@TEMPLE7D]

Glad you reintroduced this gem (with obvious safe edits). Loved the original first videos , love this one too. If you still have the video of the Diesel switching at Poughkeepsie Yard, that would be cool to see again. Hope that Hogger is enjoying retirement now.

I'm not a very reliable content creator. Although I do kinda dig it when I sit down and start editing.

@@bikertom98 Did a great job though. Like you, editing isn’t my first skill. But I can more than get it done if I have to.

Thanks for the ride!

[@johnthechoochooaddict796]

This video was recorded somewhere before 2010 as 210 is in its old livery.

[@lennysvideoz]

Yup and the audio’s a bit distorted. New video camera dont sound like that.

This Train Makes stops at Harlem 125th St Beacon New Hamburgh Poughkeepsie Right

[@trainmaster1269]

Yeah but only for express

[@lennysvideoz]

Could be 849.

[@anonymousperson9610]

Lucky you also when was this taken because I see the original paint scheme on the locomotive

[@Spaceshotx7]

When is the locomotive running off of the electric third rail, and at what point does it make the switch to diesal?

[@joecct77]

Electric power ends at Croton

[@johnleuenhagen9068]

Electrification ends just north of Croton-Harmon, but I'm pretty sure the locomotives switch to diesel just after they get out of the Park Avenue tunnel.

[@wamerica]

electric power would end in Croton Harmon on the hudson line.

[@mattb1270]

Generally the engineer starts the engine up as they exit the tunnel and let it idle until 125th street. Around 6:15 you can hear the locomotive gap out on the 3rd rail so it is still running on electricity as it approaches 125th. I've been on two trains going home where the engine failed and they let the train run on electricity all the way to Croton, but it's not normal practice, since the train is limited to 60mph in electric mode, and the locomotives arc much more than the mu trains with the higher current draw passing through the 3rd rail shoes.

What’s the paperwork for? I’m majoring Railroad Engineering at College

[@kayjoe7237]

H* shit - nice catch

[@NJT7023]

Metro north closed station

[@HarrisonPeloso]

Yankees east opened in 2009 and anything before hand had the old stadium and no station.

[@HarrisonPeloso]

Oh for the tunnel station that’s for emergency exit Only, that won’t change any time soon.

[@wcrails]

Are you allowed inside the cab or are you an engineer for Metro North?

[@MilwaukeeNorth418]

why does it matter??? Just enjoy the video bro.

[@Mnrr6131]

No. I don’t think non crew members are allowed at all in the cab unless he was nice enough to let him in

[@IRTFan9327]

Yeah seriously it doesn’t matter just enjoy the video. This video was likely recorded 2007-2008 and also statue of limitations.
