We need some more videos with "Train Man Paul"! He's so upbeat!

This conductor have to be one of the best conductor I ever seen on metro north

Metro North lucky to have Conductor “Train Man Paul”. He's a good ambassador.

Paul is an awesome conductor. Always fun back when he was on the New Haven Line either getting on one of his trains, or having one of his trains pull in whilst railfanning. 😁

Crestwood my brother stop. He just started working for the MTA ,I sure will tell him about conductor Train man Paul 😊. Hopefully he’ll see him one day! God bless you Tim

What a great conductor! I love his energy and attitude.

He’s so funny we love you Paul

Absolutely a fun and interesting ride!! Conductor Paul is very adept at his job and poetic humor. Great scenery too!- My only experience on this line is to/from White Plains. Thanks RR for posting this video😀😀💚💚

I like this conductor and the flying yankee good video

We love you Paul I miss you so much I miss riding the new haven line with you you always made it fun your the best we love you keep up the good work

Conductor Paul must love his job excellent video as always!!!

Great ride, nice to meet Trainman Paul. I used to live between Thornwood and Pleasantville years ago 🙂♥️

Paul is one of the, "The Master Conductors Of Metro North"...great friend, and always friendly towards railfans! Talks to you, not down to you! :)

congrats on 25 years strong.! the man himself.! i hope to ride his train one day

Thanks for sharing an excellent video. Very interesting. We really need Train Man Paul on our trains here in Australia. It would certainly make travel a lot more interesting.

Great video

Dammmm Train Man Paul is the coolest engineer, conductor. Keep them coming my Bro. More Life. More Health ❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I’m forever a huge fan of yours. What a fulfilling great ride hehe.

Great video!!!! i got an M3 today from North White Plains to Grand Central and 8023 was leading today!!!!!

I remember that big Metro-North accident where two trains on the same track collided on the New Haven line in 1988 near New Rochelle, the front car on one of the trains jumped up and got tangled in the catenary wires, sparks flying everywhere, Metro-North and Amtrak service was an absolute mess that day, OMG!!!

He is the man the myth the legend.

Love that he speaks in poetic verse

This conductor is SO AWESOME. Oh my goodness, what a great narration! A great companion to your great narration.

Retired railfan, this was an awesome video I really hope I get to train (pun) with train man Paul after taking my upcoming test for metro north railroad in the future months or at least operate an m3 or m7 with him aboard 😀 👍. It be pretty cool to see you both aboard..for the ride. Hope you doing well healing up fast. And shout outs to John Terry 🙌 lirr if I got that correct and ghost engineer. Being that of engineers training in the front cab was probably one of my former co-workers I use to work with.

Congrats for survivng a roundtrip with that effing buff (j/k) Great Video

Definitely two thumbs up ! Thanks for the trip with "Train Man Paul" .

Enjoyed the rear view. Thanks RR

Chock fulla pride, Ensures a fun ride, My favorite train, Is the engineer's bane, But the best EVERY day, Is the M-3A!!!!!!

Very entertaining ride! It’s fun getting a different perspective on riding suburban rail transit elsewhere. I’m a lifelong Chicagoan who’s always accustomed to riding the Metra and C.T.A., but always wanted to see what it’s like to ride the suburban rails in N.Y.C. Thank you much!

I live in Florida I went up to New York to see my father family and friends. I was going to see my aunt and my uncle in Yonkers NYWhen I was in New York City 42nd Street and Vanderbilt Avenue that’s where Grand Central Terminal. I saw Conductor Train Paul. I love trains. Of course I took a picture of him.

Conductor Extraordinaire. You the best. ❤👍🏽One of the best. Good man. 🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃

The M3s there look very clean.

Glad you had fun!

I met him once. He’s a cool guy.

I love Paul he’s awesome!

At 34:33, you are correct in saying that restaurant looks like a station, that’s because it was once the former New York Central/ Penn Central Katonah Station!

Excellent !! Shooting video from the rear cab sure beats the lousy shots out of a side window. Especially dirty side windows with the Sun shining on them. Since the conductor was so friendly and agreeable, I wish you would have asked him to take a few minutes of you. Many of us would like to see what you look like...if you match what we imagine you look like from the sound of your voice. By the way, we don't call that "left-handed running". We call it 'wrong rail'. Years ago, I was fortunate enough to have ridden the old New York Central electric MU cars with the openable windows and the 'walk-over' rattan seats. Did you ever have the thrill of riding packed trains of those cars coming out of New York City in the P.M. rush hour on a hot summer evening with all of the windows open !! The whine of the gears and traction motors was exquisite, at speed along the Hudson River all the way to Croton-Harmon. A thrill I'll never forget.

Trainman Paul was fantastic

EXCELLENT....thx

A great ride and an excellent video. Sorry, I couldn't make that rhyme.....

So nice to see a train guy who so genuinely loves his job. Enjoying your channel and have subscribed. Nice to know the M3 trains are still running! P.S: I always enjoy your well-informed and enthusiastic commentary, but wind sometimes is very distracting. Have you considered getting a more effective wind-screen for your mic? It would definitely improve intelligibility in such conditions.

I see the Stamford Yard Deadhead all the time! Can depart at anytime from 3:30-6:45p.

Way to Go....Paul

1:21:54 lmaooooo, that motel charges way too much. I actually saw bedbugs there once. Haven’t been back since. Other than that, great for seeing trains all day lmao.

They still have trains terminate at Mount Kisco. Every other train during rush hour.

One day would you do a video on a train ride from New York to Atlantic City that would be an awesome video

nice! love seeing the M3As still in action! why did you remove the gladstone video?

What was the reason behind the cancellation of the Putnam line? I did a little research online and saw the map. it looks quite the route. They should bring it back.

Love it! Thank you for this. How was your Easter?

Random comment here but: If anyone ever wanted to model Grand Central in Train Simulator, the NYPL has at least half of a longitudinal section available at original resolution (consisting of 2 pages) - and the other half of this longitudinal section + track diagrams from the station's construction available, but at a tiny resolution unless you wanna shell out $50 per page. Ugh.

Why does the third rail alternate between inside and outside?

wait M9's were canelled? is the mta insane M3's arent gonna last on either system in 15 years

11:02 who saw him at the window

What train symbols does Paul Presente Work on?

You won't be to do the head end ride in a million years. I just saw the LIRR video and was shocked you were allowed to "distract" the Engineer.

Metro north railroad WIth go to Penn Station soon

Did Paul ever say why he hates the M7s and prefers the old and smelly M3s over them?

6:40

1:00:42 Ow, a train hitting a bald eagle? Did I hear that right? I don't wanna think about what the paperwork for that is like.

L trainee, W conductor

Did they really do something as stupid to cancel the M9 & M9A contracts another reason this governor needs to go

Sick of the masks

OK ..BEATS ...LOL ...I GOT BEATS LOL ...
