Metro-North's New Haven Line Is Number One

not to be contrary, announced by whom?
I'd like to see the comparison number of trains from the other side of NY Penn. NYC to Trenton: NJ Transit, Amtrak, Septa.

Except for the stone train, it's the same old stuff, over and over and over and...

I would have thought that The Northeast Corridor between Penn Station in New York City and Trenton, NJ would be the busiest piece of railroad but according to The
Federal Railroad Administration The New Haven Line of Metro-North has more trains
operating on any given weekday. There are more Amtrak Trains that operate from
Penn Station in New York City going south but there are fewer New Jersey Transit trains on the same route that what Metro-North operates on the New Haven Line plus what Amtrak operates on this line. This information was announced by Metro-North two weeks ago.

If one wants to compare timetables of these routes for the number of trains that operate on them please do and post the information on the forum.

As to the same old stuff the operates on the New Haven Line here is a list of
what operates here.

A total of 224 Metro-North trains each week day.

MU equipment:

M-2s, M-4s, M-6s, and now the new M-8s that will during the next 2 years will
replace all to the older M series cars. The new M-8 cars are really sharp looking inside and out and cost 3 million dollars for each pair of 2 cars.

Diesel operated trains:

There are presently 8 sets of Metro-North Genesis hauled trains with 7 coaches in a push-pull operation each week day.

Amtrak: A total of 44 Amtrak trains each week day.

AEM7 and HHP8 electric locomotives pulling between 5 and 9 Amfleet cars each.

Acela train sets.

There are several sets of Metro-North work train equipment that operates to inspect and services the tracks and roadbed and also another work train that operates to inspect and service the overhead wires that powers the electric mu cars.

CSX operates a local freight train once or twice a week to service two customers on the line.

The stone train has been suspended for the winter months.

What line has more trains with this variety of equipment?

Sorry, the total of Metro-North trains during the work week operating on the New Haven Line is 227.

I find the lack of interest in things New Haven disturbing....especially
now, with more NH happening today than anytime since 1969!
