2:22 While there is no direct connection between the Moynihan train hall and the old Penn Station *upper* concourse, you can travel between the 2 buildings without walking outside. Go down to the old LIRR waiting area and walk down the recently renovated and widened hallway to the other end. Walk through the subway station entrance and just keep walking forward and you'll end up in the lower section of the Moynihan train hall. There's no fare gate you have to pass through in order to walk between the stations.

The best part of Amtrak's Northeast Corridor is the Hell Gate, wait until Metro-North Railroad starts sending New Haven Line trains to Penn Station through this section!!!

[JoeyLovesTrains]

7:44 they’re replacing most of them in preparation for the Penn Access project

[NickP]

I miss having the sleeper on the overnight regional, glad I got to try it out in November 2021 before it was killed again

[whsxc]

In CT we pronounce it “new HAVEN” emphasis on Haven vs. “NEW haven”

[jessicaburdell]

Perfect timing, just before I hop aboard train 66 two Saturdays from now, for not only my next shift of work, but my new permanent move from my birthplace of Baltimore to my specific job/company location.

[zacharyelder]

Well if you don't know i heard metro north will be expanding to Penn station. So that means it will follow down the northeast corridor with Amtrak and have 5 or 6 different train stations where you can make a transfer from Amtrak to Metro North or Vice Versa. That will make it's debut in 2027.

My only Amtrak trip so far was in 2019, Charlotte to NYC, Crescent on the way up and Carolinian on the return. Given my early departure, I entered the Penn station side (since I had exited from there 4 days prior, but before the new station was completed) and couldn’t find anyone to direct me to the Amtrak lounge and tracks under the MSG. I finally made it to the lounge only to be greeted by 2 pigeons! I didn’t know business class had those perks.

FYI - the speeds on Metro North’s New Haven line reach speeds of 80 and 75 MPH in some areas. It clearly is not a high speed section for sure. Many Amtrak engineers call this portion of the NY to Boston trip “The Black Hole”. 😂

The catenary structures all date back to between 1907 and 1913. They may look old but are structurally sound and there are no plans to replace them anytime soon.

The Peqonnic River bridge you are showing is actually the Housatonic River bridge some 5 miles east of Bridgeport.

[MatthewSmith-cvop]

Done this many a time to New Haven and Boston. Everybody gets their phones out once the train leaves the tunnel.

All the passenger circulation in Penn Station before 1963 was also below ground. In fact the floor plan, aside from additional concourses built over the past few decades, is basically unchanged. In other words nothing was made worse on that front, and in fact it has gotten much better, in purely practical terms. But there’s no question it looked nicer and probably felt like a more pleasant place to be when the original building was still above those areas, because there were higher ceilings and more (or any) light coming in. It really goes to show how important it is for public spaces to look inviting, because anything practically wrong with Penn Station in 2024 was already true in 1924, but at one time it was able to get by on its good looks and now it isn’t.

(Contrast this btw with Grand Central, which is a little newer and benefits from being a terminal station so it didn’t have to straddle the tracks…not only does it look amazing, but it has also always been functional, too.)

[MrTherende]

I can't help thinking of the RFK bridge as the Triborough Bridge, that was what it was called when I was growing up in the '60's & 70's

10:48 rare green luminator in the destination LED

[RealCrimsonPeach_TSFTWDTFTL]

This was a great video as always. I've always wanted to visit Connecticut, especially around the Stamford, Bridgeport, and New Haven areas. I also have two very good friends from high school who go to college in Fairfield.

[katyareads]

Yeah i would take metro north from grand central....less expensive and more frequent departurws.

[ThisGuyTomTV]

I’m so glad you posted this!
I plan to take a Northeast Region from New Haven to Boston Back Bay next week and have been soooo curious as to what the coach looks like for Amtrak trains leaving New Haven.
It’ll be my first Amtrak ride 👍🏻

[HarrisonPeloso]

ive done the short hop a few times from NYC to stamford, hop from new haven and new london a bunch of times even with the ride being really short

[NikonFuser]

Most comfortable coach seating on Earth!

[syrax]

I will say, as a New Yorker, this channel makes me feel like I’m a tourist in my own city lol great vid!

I came up to NY on NJT and we exited through the main hall of Penn Station which is cool.
