Operating as an entity of New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), Metro-North operates three commuter lines from New York City’s Grand Central Terminal — the Hudson Line extending, via Croton-Harmon, to Poughkeepsie, New York; the Harlem Line extending, via White Plains and Brewster, to Wassaic, New York; and the New Haven Line, extending via Stamford, to New Haven, Connecticut. The New Haven Line, operated in cooperation with the Connecticut Department of Transportation, includes branch lines to New Canaan, Danbury, and Waterbury, Connecticut. Metro-North also is a partner with NJ Transit in operating “West of Hudson” lines from Hoboken (New Jersey) Terminal to Spring Valley and Port Jervis, New York. To serve its three routes from Grand Central Terminal, Metro-North utilizes electric-multiple-unit (EMU) trains as well as diesel powered trains hauling Shoreliner “push-pull” equipment.
