Metro North test train |
| Description: |
The Port Washington Branch had a test facility at Shea Stadium, where there were a number of unused tracks that had been built for the 1964/65 Worlds Fair. Off line trains were somtimes seen, usually new equipment being tested, but occasionally NYCTA cars too, since the voltages were similar, and they shared an over running third rail. I recall seeing R42 cars going past my house in Little Neck. Here we see some Metro North cars waiting to go east on a test. |

125th St next |
| Description: |
A Grand Central bound train arrives at Tarrytown. Ill jump on here, as Im headed to my cousins wedding in New York. I had driven down from Binghamton, and rather than go to Manhattan and pay a ridiculous amount of money to park after fighting the traffic, Ill get off at Grand Central and walk the seven blocks to St Bartholomew. It was a good plan. The wedding was at 4 PM, I had left upstate at 1130 to make this 244 PM train. I even had time for a hot dog on the way up from Grand Central. It took my brother two hours to get into the city from Jersey. |
