At 21:30 is the former overhead crossing of the New York-Westchester & Boston Railroad's Columbus Avenue - Pelham Railway Station. This was also a Transfer point to the New Haven Line which had a Station stop here. This Right-of-way used to run from the Mott Haven section of the Southernmost part of The Bronx to White Plains, NY. The railroad began construction in 1906 and built north, with the northernmost stations at Rye and Port Chester opening in 1928 and 1929. When most stations opened in 1912, the NYW&B was considered state of the art for its time, taking power from overhead lines, no grade crossings that obstructed car traffic, high platforms to enable comfortable boarding, and spacious, architecturally attractive ticket offices/station houses. The Automobile industry was starting to flourish during its early existence which had an adverse effect on its ridership. The other was the fact that it did not run into Penn Station or Grand Central for a one-shot ride straight to the city, although that could've been quickly resolved with rerouting traffic over the East River Crossing aka The Hell's Gate Bridge. Further plans to extend the route to Boston never materialized due to all this and by 1937 the railway was bankrupt and service ending was imminent. The power was shut down and the line and stations were sealed up and abandoned. The NYW&B sat listless for decades with a great deal of the rails and steel girders from grades and stations being pulled up, torn down and scrapped for usage of building materials for ships and submarines in World War II in the 1940's. This was the common fate of many of America's railways. For decades after the ROW was visible in many parts if you knew where to look, chock full of evidence of rail, signals, signalboxes, catenary towers, grade crossings and station houses/platforms. The 1980's, 90's and the new Millenium saw a major change with private developers and eminent domain laws claiming huge parts of the ROW for urban development and local community zoning organizations creating greenways and such. Many parts of the ROW have totally disappeared due to new business & housing developments or road & highway construction. I read somewhere once that whenever railways were deemed to have gone bankrupt, the city and state would often take the property and turn them into bike trails - especially when there is no date to resume activity after long periods of time have gone by. If after some time future budgets would allow they would be reassesed for possible reactivation into service. So far it hasn't been done in NY State that I know of (I could be wrong...). I do believe that if the State of NY would've held on to many of these commuter rail properties and not let them diminish, today there would be a lot more accessible and quicker ways to move in and out of the Tri-State area - especially with the incredible amount of traffic that exists today. The city and all of its outlying towns, villages and suburbs would've grown much larger had it not been for rail organizations-managements with poor financial misappropriation and lack of future vision.

NYW&B had the right future vision for what was then a largely unpopulated area. Unfortunately, its business model was a bust. Had it been able to hold on past 1937, it probably could have worked even without the one-seat ride to Manhattan. Certainly the railroad today would be SRO with the population in the area.

It’s 2023 and I’ve been an MNR commuter on the New Haven Line for 11 years. I’ve ridden many thousands of miles on the M2s, M4s, M6s and of course the current M8s. It’s nice to see the old M2s enjoying their last year or two on the network but by this time they were pretty tired. Seats were heavily worn to the point the padding was flat, floors felt like they were rotten and these trains had a cringe-inducing bounce over switches, even catching seasoned commuters off guard, especially those seated at the back of the cars. The heating and AC was hit or miss and we won’t even mention the small, filthy lavatories. Yet these workhorses were also well liked and represented a simpler time: bar cars (until 2014), no power sockets, paper tickets only and discarded newspapers at the end of each run. The Cosmopolitans were a big step up from the trains they replaced and actually entered service when I was 5 days old (!) Of course, once they’re gone they’re gone and they left without a lot of fanfare. I believe the last time I rode on an M2 was New Years Eve 2018, might have literally been that train’s last revenue run before being retired. Slightly different topic (but keeping with the nostalgia theme) the northbound I-95 tollbooth at 26:04 is another relic that is no longer around.

People say the third rail and caternary don't run together but for a little stretch they seem to. I believe that for the track where they run together, the overhead caternary is not electrified, somehow. In that case not sure why it's there - possibly to get the pantographs on before you absolutely have to. Supposedly having both power sources on at the same time would be catastrophic, but the M8s anyway, as far as I know do not ever retract their shoes.

(I moved upstate years ago so I haven't been on a cimmuter train recently.)
@lousherwood82276 жыл бұрын
You are correct - the change used to happen at Woodlawn, but was moved to just west of Pelham. But since it's just a change of power source - 3rd rail to catenary, or vice versa, it can be done 'on the run', at full speed. Plenty of videos showing this being done here on YT!

I guess the signalling is indicated inside the cab, with the help of the chirping to slow down? The LIRR has extensive signals on the outside, and assisted by a similar chirp or bell. 2. The passengers who got on the train in the wrong direction weren't too brilliant, BUT I never heard the conductors ever announce that "This is the train to Stamford" either. Too bad you can't get this view for video recording any more on the newer cars.

I just found out that there were 4 stations between Grand Central and 125th Street. 59th Street, 72nd Street, 86th Street and 110th Street. 59, 72 and 86 are in the tunnel, so that is what you see. It's been an emergency exit since they decommissioned those stops.

18:30 or so a bit after that track you see that's I think 3 of the New Haven line or whatever number it's assigned there as being part of the Harlem is the "flyover" but I could be wrong

Also funnily when approaching just short of Mile Post 12 or around there, I think it's called Woodmont where the NH line branches off from the Harlem Line, you can't be on the track 4 (right-most in this video) because it doesn't connect to the NH line.. it keeps you on the Harlem. You have to be on 3 or 2... so Left-most or second from the right, which you can see he was on.

That always happens on the New Haven Line. So many of those passengers don't pay attention. Sometimes they even have a ticket for the New York Central Hudson and Harlem Lines and have this whole debacle with the conductor.
