Metro North Railroad, the commuter lifeline that makes Grand Central Terminal so special. While boasting a remarkably high approval rating compared to other local transit, this system actually covers more miles than the Long Island Rail Road. The video takes you through the fascinating evolution of its main lines—the Hudson, Harlem, and New Haven—from their fractured past under Penn Central to their consolidation under the MTA. Beyond the main tracks, you'll explore the unique Port Jervis and Pascack Valley lines serving the west side of the Hudson, learn about abandoned branches like the Putnam Division, and get a sneak peek at future expansions connecting suburban trains directly to Penn Station.
