Spent a very mild windless evening at this scenic station.  Lots of photo angles in this very picturesque location.  So a frequent metro north and Amtrak trains with a couple of New Haven heritage units.  Serenaded the incomparable Ghost Engineer a couple of times.

In 2001 a friend from Seattle sent me a VHS tape on the Hudson Subdivision including the Amtrak Turbo Train cab ride. I could never be there to see those trains close to me, it is my main dream in life, believe me. And now I could find your channel and I am enjoying this video almost feeling like I were there. My smartphone screen is excellent, so I can see the perfection of the images your camera captured. You just gained one more viewer.

Another great video, that day I went to Croton Harmon and was onboard Metro North 870 going back to Grand Central!!!! Lol!!!!! I might add I got on train 733 to Croton Harmon. I stayed there for about an hour then I went back to Grand Central. I left Grand Central about an hour and 1/2 before you did on 739.

funny enough Metro North announced a new heritage unit program, they plan to have a New York Central HU, a Conrail HU, and a Penn Central HU, they currently have a P32AC-DM in the old paint scheme the FL9's wore, ofc all the units are gonna be wrapped but still, Metro North Heritage Units :)

Poughkeepsie, being my home station and living 5 minutes away, I wish we would get updated train cars or more importantly electrified lines! The upper Hudson is very neglected. Maybe not as much as the west of the Hudson lines, but we pack trains and have super express. We need new cars.

Wrong. There is only 1 set of passenger speeds and many times when amtrak shows up late, they are stuck behind a MNR local and creep along

i'm impressed again your videos are amazing and educating very much more scenic on the hudson line on metro north and amtrak itself but i saw more of metro north than amtrak that time you went railfanning but no judgement on that issue. i'd seen a few CSX trains back in january on the harrison station in metro north very goodfor me at night.

I know the metro north platforms tend to be shorter than the lirr platforms, but I wonder why they never expanded them. Surely the ridership would justify 12 car trains. I’m guessing it would be too expensive at this point to expand the platforms.
@jayway211

Thank you for this excellent video ! I agree with your commentator from Poughkeepsie it really is time for the push-pull stock on that route to be replaced. I wonder if it would be possible to have some bi-level cars like those on the LIRR, which would be a huge improvement ! Perhaps the Park Avenue tunnels would prevent this ?

So many double cab car trains! Why do a lot of metro north shoreliners have trains with 2 or 3 cabcars? dont they only need one? Ive seen them a lot more often now rather than earlier so it was cool to see the controls of the train on the second cabcar
