Those passenger cars are Kawasaki MU units, destined for the New Haven Line of the Metro-North Commuter Railroad. Formerly used only between New Haven and Grand Central, with branch service to New Canaan, but recently they've begun providing service to New London as well. They have capability to use the overhead catenary of the former NHRR in CT to Woodlawn Junction, where they switch over to third rail power in the former NYC territory.

@tgmct Жыл бұрын

I've heard that the State of CT bought new Kawasaki's for the Shoreline East between New Haven and New London. The cars in this video are marked for Metro North which is everything west of New Haven. I also heard that Metro North was acquiring some new stock for the Waterbury and Danbury lines. I doubt that cars east of New Haven would be marked as Metro North where there are two totally different union groups involved; everything north and east of New Haven is part of the Amtrak unions and they also own the rails. This has been a contention for years where the Metro North unions are paid more. There are some cross union agreements where Amtrak Northeast Corridor service runs on the Metro North rails from New York to New Haven. There is some direct service from New London to Stamford on Shoreline East but it is pretty minimal.

Those are Kawasaki M-8s. They replace the [venerable] M-2s, as well as the -4s and -6s. Some sets (or cars) are owned by the MTA, but some are actually owned by ConnDOT. I've heard the Shoreline East sets had their third rail shoes removed. The changeover to catenary is now at [just short of] Pelham. The reason being, they had problems with the changeover and the Woodlawn interlocking; where trains were getting gapped. As such, the catenary grantries are still extant. I'm from NYC.

Not only is it for the New Haven line it’s also rarely used on All lines and Shoreline east but CT rail owns shore line east so ct rail also has them

@ArchTeryx00 Жыл бұрын

Really neat that you caught the Metro-North Kawasaki power cars being hauled by CSX. I've noticed before that while light rail cars (trams) are usually hauled by truck, heavy-rail cars (like the Metro in Washington D.C., Metro-North around NYC, and pretty much any diesel-driven commuter train) are usually hauled by freight carriers, then the commuter railroad's own switchers complete the journey. IIRC these powered cars have to have their brake systems disengaged to be hauled like this, so they go to the end of the train. Great catch there!

Metro North Railroad. They operate on the former New Haven RR from New Haven, Connecticut to Grand Central Terminal, New York City, NY. They have what I think they call pin and cup couplers, so there was some sort of adapter and installed train air hose. These cars normally have train air thru the couplers. They run on dual electrical modes. Over head wire at 11,000 +/- volts ac and 750 +/- volts DC third rail.

Chasing a delivery train and more at the local railroad tracks. He didnt expect to see a delivery train. Kawasaki multiple units being delivered to new York for Metro-North. Plus railfanning along multiple railroad crossings. Cheers to Mike and all the other railfans.

When a train is left with a foreign railroad locomotive, it's called "run through power." If a train consists of all cargo from one shipper to one customer, it's cheaper and faster to leave the locomotives on the railroad serving the shipper than to disconnect them, connect the next railroad's motive power, send the engines back empty, then send an engine to pick up the returned cars to reverse the process, especially if the customer will be sending cars right back to that shipper. The sending railroad either pays for use of the other railroad's track, or lets that railroad use their track for the same number of miles, free.
