I believe CT Rail is actually operated by Amtrak, though the cars are indeed owned jointly by the MTA and CTDOT

@LonestarTrips Год назад

Interesting. Looks like the Shore Line East is Amtrak operated, but the Hartford line isn't. Definitely a strange setup.

@kolkoreh Год назад

@@LonestarTrips I believe the SLE M-8s are exclusively CDOT owned

@connecticutmultimodaltrans8226 Год назад

@@kolkoreh Correct! Some that run on MNRR are owned by the MTA.

@spenceradams2908 Год назад

the m8 and p32 dual modes are owned 50/50 by cdot and mta which probably explains why the m8s have ct dot logos on one car and mta on the other and the add on cars and 50/50 with half having mta logos and the others ct dot logos

@kevinb8881 Год назад

@@kolkoreh Yes you are correct, both CT Rail Hartford and CT Rail SLE are owned by CDOT!!!

@LonestarTrips Год назад

Agreed. It's beautiful.

@tm752 Год назад

These trains are primarily commuter trains. You would have seen many more riders in the opposite direction as it seemed to be late afternoon when you traveled. It is a welcome service for those of us who travel often between NYC and the CT shoreline. Thanks for this great report.

@_00FF00 Год назад

This one's a marriage of weird contracts. AMTRAK conductors/engineers/crew, MTA rolling stock, CT Rail line.

@LonestarTrips Год назад

Yep, it's a strange amalgamation of operators, rolling stock, and crews.

@mmanisr22 Год назад

The cars used on the SLE trains have had their third rail shoes removed, making them operable only with overhead wire for now

@mirzaahmed6589 Год назад

Amtrak's "Value Fare" for NHV to NH-State St is only $0.50.

@LonestarTrips Год назад

I saw that. And if I stack the student discount on top of that, it ends up costing just $0.43.

@qjtvaddict 3 месяца назад

That’s hilarious cause nobody does that lol

@montyb10009 Год назад

The train was probably not full because if you were traveling in the afternoon, the commute is the other way.

@LonestarTrips Год назад

That's likely the case. I'm not familiar with the area, so I don't know the usual commuter patterns on the line.

@connecticutmultimodaltrans8226 Год назад

Honestly it's never crowded, maybe the 4:40pm weekdays.

The Shoreline M8s are getting CTrail logos.

@LonestarTrips Год назад

I hope they give them proper liveries, like the Hartford line cars/locomotives, and not just logos. (Although I doubt they ever will.)

@CTrail1711 Год назад

@@LonestarTrips No, there just getting CTrail logos for now.

@metropod Год назад

M8s are split 2 to 1 between CDOT ownership and MTA ownership. with the exception of the pure third rail EMU fleet (formerly the M1A and M3A, today the M7A and the future M9A) for the Hudson and Harlem lines all "East of Hudson" Metro-North rolling stock is split. Four of the railroad's P32AC-DM dual modes are CDOT owned and wear a heritage New Haven paint scheme. the BL20GH are more evenly split and the CDOT ones wear the CT rail colors created when the Hartford Line was launched.

@charsbob Год назад

The "Illini" is pronounced Ill-eye-nye. Plural possessive of Illinois

@LonestarTrips Год назад

Thank you!!! I was hoping someone would correct that pronunciation! I did my best to research the correct way to say it, but I couldn't find a definitive answer, so I just picked what I thought it would sound like, and hoped that someone from the area would catch on and correct me.

@willgibson9718 8 месяцев назад

I was there because I miss my stop to Madison 7:33

@rbjplay13 Год назад

That was a fun video! Did a conductor never come to check your ticket? Wonder if they forgot they had the doors unlocked to that last car. But I would recommend closing the cab door next time, especially if you wanted to sit in the jump seat in front of the window, just to prevent train crew members from getting the wrong idea of you in the cab.

@LonestarTrips Год назад

Strangely enough, the conductor never came by to check my ticket. I was considering closing the door, but I wasn't sure if it would lock us out of the jump seat area, hence why I didn't try.

@davemeshamsr6000 Год назад

Like to see more of new London area trains

@kitn1mcc Год назад

There is much in New London only other catch is the P and W

@AndreiTupolev Год назад

Many of these stations on commuter lines are surprisingly attractive. Is that front seat available when the cab is in use, or is it shut off for security reasons?

@connecticutmultimodaltrans8226 Год назад

The door is shut perpendicular to the car, so no, the seat is not available.

@StefanWithTrains3222 Год назад

They should really upgrade the NEC between NY and NH. The corridor is windy and has speed limits change every minute. Or they should build an new line like the NAHSR.

@cats0182 Год назад

Who is "they"? AMTRAK (i.e. you and I, the taxpayers) own the track between NYC and Boston. It is the old New Haven Railroad that follows the shore and the coast line. It is curvy with a couple of straightaways where trains can go 100mph. Want to upgrade the line? You put up the first $100 billion and see who follows your generosity.

@LonestarTrips Год назад

@@cats0182 If I had the $100 billion to give to such a project, I would, and I'm sure many others would too. $66 billion has already been set aside from the 2022 infrastructure bill to upgrade passenger rail in the US, and there's no doubt a fairly large portion will go towards the Northeast Corridor.

@cats0182 6 месяцев назад

Ok, big spender. You put up the first billion dollars in cash and then challenge the already-overtaxed NY Metropolitan Area residents to follow your example.

@connecticutmultimodaltrans8226 Год назад

Awesome video! I love SLE, done many miles on it. Sorry about the bathroom situation! That's definitely unusual. New Haven's station is underrated!

@LonestarTrips Год назад

I'm glad you enjoyed! I'll be honest, the bathroom clip is from an entirely different journey lol. I didn't actually go check out the bathroom on this particular ride, because I was worried that the conductor would tell me to leave the rear coach if they saw me moving between cars. That or at least close the cab door, which would have meant the end of our fun.

Only free on Shore Line East. Not on Hartford Line or Metro North.

Agreed. The close proximity of major population centers, all connected seamlessly via public transport is the closest to Europe one can get in America.

Since the river in New London is named after the river in London, England, I assume it should be pronounced the same way -- i.e. Tems, not Thames. I'll let a Connecticut resident correct me if I'm wrong.

@kitn1mcc Год назад

It is the Thames

@mirzaahmed6589 Год назад

10:45 you mean four?

@jasonjohnson892 Год назад

The MU in EMU means multiple unit. In other words, because the cars are permanently hooked in an emu or set of 2, they're technically 2 EMUs. If they were as independently single sets then it would be a 4 car train. Also by saying 2 M8 EMUs, he's saying 4 cars anyway. It's like 2 pairs of socks is technically 4 socks.

@mirzaahmed6589 Год назад

@@jasonjohnson892 Yes and no. Single-car M8s do exist. 2 M8 EMUs is not necessarily equal to 4 cars. Also, married pairs are a common thing, as are four cars coupled together in A-B-B-A formation (e.g. most trains in the NYC subway), but that doesn't mean they are counted collectively. Generally people will say a train has a four-car or eight-car consist, not "two EMUs" that happen to each consist of two to four cars.

@janeeyre5909 Год назад

that’s I95 south…not west

@LonestarTrips Год назад

Ah, a slight misinterpretation of what I’m saying. Im saying that the route travels west following I-95, not that it follows “I-95 West.”

@cats0182 6 месяцев назад

"Click bait". Cab views says to me a video from the Front of the train, not the rear. An emp;ty train says to me that taxpayers are willing to foot the full bill for the cost. If they're foolish enough to do that, so be it.

@LonestarTrips 6 месяцев назад

It is footage from the literal cab of the train. It is by definition a cab view.
