Today i went to stamford to railfan and take some pics. On a side note the M2s have railfan windows!!!!! I rode at the RFW from stamford to GCT. I didn't know metro north had RFW it was very cool. Also how come there are so few amtrak trains? When i go to new jersey they come like every 15 mintues. In CT theres barly one amtrak train an hour. Well here are the pics starting with the nyc subway.....

To teach children safety around the railroad. That WAS his purpose. He's now been supplanted by 'M-7A Man'.

Enjoy the railfan window while you can. I'm sure the M-8s won't have one...

I like this one!



Ganging up on you!

Great shots! There aren't as many people up this way so we don't have as many trains as places like NJ.

your pal,
Fred

Right! Plus all the long distance stuff starts at NYP. Still Stamford is pretty cool for railfanning. I take it nobody bothered you?

Nope nobody bothered me about taking pics. And yes stamford is a great place to fan with all the MUs that come though there.

Metro-North still runs a few M1s (okay, M1As) during rush hours, not to mention plenty of M3s.



This photo was taken last Monday.

Nice photos, the one with the Acela Express and Metro-North trains on Track 3 and 5 at Stamford is my favorite.

Question: why did they retain some M1a units? I thought the M7a was supposed to replace all of them.

Tracks at Stamford look beaten up . . . like something out of the 70s.

Thanks!! I think everyone knows that the shots of 2016 and 2013 are not mine. I said that i took them inside the TM store in GCT.

They had the pics on display so i took pics of the pics on display.
