Metro-North Railroad Marble Hill station Metro-North (officially MTA Metro-North Railroad) is a suburban commuter railroad running service from New York City to the northern suburbs in New York State and Connecticut. ...
The NewHavenLine is one of the busiest commuter lines in North America.
Out of the 115,000 total daily commuters on the NewHavenLine, approximately 80,000 originate from Connecticut traveling to in-state or New York destinations.
Connecticut has approved in December 2005, a $25 million dollar bond request to purchase 13 new locomotives for use on the NewHaven and Branch Service Lines and in rail yard work.
The line was formerly part of the New York, NewHaven, and Hartford Railroad (the New York and Hew Haven Railroad until 1872), which had trackage rights over the New York Central Railroad's New York and Harlem Railroad into Grand Central.
Penn Central, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and the states of New York and Connecticut signed an agreement November 25, 1969 for New York to buy the section of the line in that state and Connecticut to lease their section (to NewHaven).
Since most of the main line and the New Canaan Branch run on overhead catenary (as opposed to the third rail of the Hudson and Harlem lines), different rolling stock runs on the NewHavenline as opposed to its sisters.
