Posted by Charles G on Sun Dec 29 14:08:34 2024, in response to VIDEO: Amtrak cab view Penn Station to New Haven, 1985, posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Sun Dec 29 10:10:42 2024. Great find. Thanks for sharing! Much has stayed the same, but much has changed for sure. I only watched from Penn to Stamford so far -- a few things I found interesting...It looks like only a single track was in use for all or part of the run from the Hell Gate to Shell Interlocking. That will soon be four tracks if I'm remembering correctly. The New Rochelle toll booths still in existence. Although the train does not stop, at this date Rye is the Amtrak station for Westchester county and New Rochelle is only a Metro North station. Four and six car trains on the New Haven Line. Two-car New Canaan shuttle! The Stamford skyline has completely changed. First Stamford Place, one of the earliest major complexes in the downtown area is under construction just to the left approaching Stamford station. The new Stamford station is under construction as well, with the old station still in use. This is the first I've seen of Stamford before the current station was in place and in use. Platform and track configuration is completely changed. Thanks again! |
