Rail is a subsidiary of the Connecticut Department of Transportation (ConnDOT) and operates under the CTrail brand. SLE provides services seven days a week along the Northeast Corridor from New London west to New Haven, with limited service further west to Bridgeport and Stamford. The connection west of New Haven to New York is accessible via the New Haven Metro-Northern Railroad line. The service was introduced in 1990 as a temporary measure to reduce congestion during construction work on I-95. However, it proved more popular than expected and the service was continued after the completion of construction, despite criticism that the line was too expensive to operate. The service has been continuously upgraded since its inception with refurbished stations and new rolling stock, as well as expansions in New London in 1996 and Stamford in 2001. About 2,100 riders use the service on weekdays. On 16 March 2020, the service began operating indefinitely on reduced schedules due to the coronavirus pandemic. Currently, most SLE trains on a weekday in italics run from New London or Old Seybrook to New Haven in the morning, with some non-stop east flights. This pattern of traffic changes in the afternoon and evening rush. A handful to work through New Haven, Stamford. Shore Line East train at Union Station in New Haven, focal point The line, with the former Amtrak P40DC No. 841 leading most weekend SLE trains also run local west in the morning and then express in the afternoon, stopping only at Branford, Guildford, and Westbrook between Old Sebrook and State Street. Service in the east direction has been cancelled. This is because Madison and Clinton have platforms only on the east track, and thus the switching is necessary for the train platform to the west. About half of the SLE trains operated to and from New London. New London SLE reusable pass holders can also take the selected North East Regional Train, or the Acela Express train #2151. There are plans to increase services in New London, which is limited by the requirements of the U.S. Coast Guard for the bridge over the Connecticut River. After several years with one or two trains to New London, additional trips to New London were added in 2010 and 2013, and in June 2013 weekend service began. All trains that did not run west of New Haven connect to the Metro-North Railroad in New Haven for service to Connecticut, Westchester, New York, and New York. These connections are commonly used by extreme passengers who live in suburban Connecticut and work in New York City. Although the SLE service is funded by ConnDOT, it is under contract with Amtrak. Amtrak owns and controls the Northeast Corridor east of New Haven. West of New Haven, the New Haven line is owned by ConnDOT, and trains depart metro-North. During the OpSail and SailFest festivals in New London, additional Friday and weekend services are available from New Haven to New London. During OpSail 2000, the service runs from New Haven to Mystic - the only time the Shore Line East service operates east of New London. The history of service is the previous Service Shore Line East train with equipment painted in New York, New Haven and Hartford-colored railroad section of the Northeast Corridor that the Shore Line East operates on the once New York-Boston main New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad. The site from New Haven to New London was built by both New Haven and the New London Railway. It was replaced in 1848, began construction in 1850 and opened for use in July 1852. The line belonged to New York, Providence and Boston Railroad (Stonington Road) from 1858 to 1862, and the Shore Line Railroad from 1864 until it was acquired by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad (New Haven) in 1870. Crossing the Connecticut River required the ferry to be moved until a drawbridge was built in 1870. The line was named by the New Haven Railroad as line to distinguish it from the main rail line from New Haven to Springfield, Massachusetts. In recognition of New Haven's great role in history and heritage ConnDOT paints SLE diesel locomotives in the orange and black style of New Haven. The colors and emblems of the New Haven Railroad were also placed at several stations, notably New Haven Union Station. The Clamdigger Service operated by Amtrak in 1971, The New Haven Railroad operated a local service on the coastline until the merger with Penn Central on January 1, 1969, when most commuter traffic east of New Haven was discontinued. Long-distance service continued, but usually only stayed in New Haven, Old Seybrook and New London. Penn Central continued to operate Clamdigger, a one-day round trip to New London-New Haven with local stops, as well as a New London-Based Boston tour. In May 1971, Amtrak took over the clamdigger, along with most long-distance passenger services. In January 1972, Amtrak stopped traveling to Clamdigger and Penn Central. In 1976 and 1977, Amtrak operated Clamdigger as a round-trip to Providence New Haven with limited local stops; For three months in 1978, it was revived with additional commuter stops. It was replaced in April 1978 by Beacon Hill, which stopped in New Haven, Branford, Madison, Old Cybrook, Niantica, New London and Mystic en route to Providence and Boston. Beacon Hill (which served Providence and Boston's commuting markets, not New Haven) was discontinued in 1981 due to funding cuts ending commuter rail traffic in Connecticut east of New Haven. The original PATrain service in Pittsburgh in 1985. After the service ended in 1989, ConnDOT purchased equipment for use on Shore Line East. Legislation was proposed in 1981 and 1986 to restore commuter traffic between New Haven and New London, as well as between New Haven and Hartford. A 1986 ConnDOT study analyzed congestion on Interstate 95, which runs parallel to the line. The study found that old Saybrook was a better terminus for the original service, with an expected ridership of 420 riders in each direction daily. Based on the study, Governor William O'Neill ordered Conndota in October 1986 to begin rail service along the corridor. It was set up as a temporary service for newly opened local stations between Union Station in New Haven and Old Seabrook to ease traffic congestion that arose as a result of planned construction work on I-95. O'Neill introduced a $50 million transportation program that included $900,000 (later reduced to $500,000) for major stations and $4 million to repair 12 Budd Rail Diesel Cars for rolling stock. RDC was deemed insufficient, and instead, in 1989, the defunct PATrain service had two diesel trains. Testing of equipment on the Northeast Corridor began on 2 December 1989. A second study, conducted in 1989, showed a higher potential for riders between 700 and 1,350 daily riders. State buys Amtrak service in New Haven New Haven in May 1989 and signed a maintenance contract with Amtrak in November. (Metro-North Railroad was not considered for several reasons, mainly because Amtrak already owned a rail line east of New Haven). Construction of five intermediate stations was completed in April 1990. Shore Line East service began on May 29, 1990, with four trains in each direction in the morning and evening. The service was called clamdigger during the planning; Shore Line East appeared only shortly before the service began. Shore Line East was threatened with cuts in 1991 by newly elected Governor Lowell Walker, but it proved more popular than expected and was actually made permanent. A 1996 study found that Shore Line East captured 8% of regional commuter rides and attracted a loyal base of riders. In 1995 and 1997, then-Gov. John Rowland proposed replacing shore Lane East and the Waterbury branch with a bus, citing a high $18.70 per rider per ride to reduce the unpopular gas tax. The Shore Line East Rider Association and other groups lobbied to keep both services each time, and after a public hearing a small rate increase was passed in late 1997 instead.

  • Northeast Corridor Capital Investment Plan Fiscal Years 2017-2021
    Northeast Corridor Capital Investment Plan Fiscal Years 2017-2021 April 2016 Congress established the Northeast Corridor Commission (the Commission) to develop coordinated strategies for improving the Northeast’s core rail network in recognition of the inherent challenges of planning, financing, and implementing major infrastructure improvements that cross multiple jurisdictions. The expectation is that by coming together to take collective responsibility for the NEC, these disparate stakeholders will achieve a level of success that far exceeds the potential reach of any individual organization. The Commission is governed by a board comprised of one member from each of the NEC states (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland) and the District of Columbia; four members from Amtrak; and five members from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The Commission also includes non-voting representatives from four freight railroads, states with connecting corridors and several commuter operators in the Region.

Metro-North Commuter Railroad Metro-North Commuter Railroad is one of the United States largest commuter operations, with daily ridership of approximately 300,000 passengers and annual ridership in excess of 87 million. 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. Most diesel-powered trains utilize General Electric P32AC-DM locomotives. EMU trains on the Hudson and Harlem lines most typically employ Metro-North’s M7A electrics while the New Haven Line employs M8 EMUs, the latter of which are equipped to operate both from third-rail D.
