Metro-North New Haven Line (Part 1)

WATCH IN HIGH QUALITY!

I shot this video from Grand Central to New Haven while riding on M2 8822. In this video, we will depart Grand Central Terminal, make a stop at Harlem-125th Street, and the video stops just before Melrose. The voices you hear (other than me) are those of the engineer and his friends. Just so you know. Please enjoy watching part one.

OK, I left something out.

When I said call out the streets I didn't mean memorize them. When the trains come out of the portal the streets are listed at the center of the overpasses as the train goes thru them. Second I did not say call out every neighborhood, but mentioning that the train was in Manhattan and The Bronx gives a point of reference. The junction out side New Rochelle is significant because that's where the north east corridor joins Metro North. More comprehensive is good thing.

I understand. You should check out my more recent series and see if that helps. I will try to remember these things when I do my next series. Thanks again.

I made one other entry about being from New Rochelle. If you wanted to make this a perfect video there are a couple of key points that you forgot to mention. First of all when the train passes an overpass you should have called out the streets and indicated the the train was in Harlem. Wheh it crossed the Harlem river you should have indicated that the train was now in The Bronx. and finally, you should have called out when the train arrived at the junction just before New Rochelle reshoot..

I appreciate your input, but I can't make all of that happen. First of all, there is no way I am going to learn all of the street names just for this video. There are possibly over 100 streets that the New Haven Line crosses. It's just not happening. Second of all, I don't think it's necessary to state every neighborhood or borough of New York City that the line travels through. Finally, it's called Shell Interlocking. Happy?
