My first time visiting this unique station, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of horn action and friendly crews and cops. Video contains all trains between 8:30a and 12:00p. Enjoy =)

So much going on at the New London station. Amtrak and Shoreline East Commuter rail, Car ferries to Orient Point on the East tip of Long Island and Fisher's Island, the Coast Guard training clipper ship Eagle and submarines from Electric boat often cruising up and down the Thames River. A great place to hangout.

@@dariofinkel6191 Their is no "wrong iron" in 261 and 562 territory. Wrong Iron slang applies in 251 territory. None exists on this section of the Corridor. Amtrak does not designate their mainline tracks as directional. While they normally use 1 as a Westbound track and 2 as an Eastbound track, they will routinely run opposite ways for getting around congestion.

Why is there still a grade crossing in 2018? trains can go 130+mph but sure lets have a grade crossing. Why is New London a Union Station. its only been served by one railroad. (well 3 through mergers. New Haven, PC, and Amtrak). I think its the only railroad station where the platforms are separated by a grade crossing.
