Passenger Trains > Grand Central TerminalDate: 09/14/20 18:34 Grand Central Terminal Author: CP8888 What is the longest continuous (no change) train trip possible
from GCT? Not a quiz. I don't know. Is it Poughkeepsie? Date: 09/14/20 18:58 Re: Grand Central Terminal Author: PRSL-recall Seems to me it's Wassaic NY on the Harlem line.

Otherwise, it's Poughkeepsie at 74 miles, the New Haven at 72. Dave Date: 09/14/20 19:21 Re: Grand Central Terminal Author: MattW Do Amtrak reroutes into GCT count?
Date: 09/14/20 19:40 Re: Grand Central Terminal Author: pdt Is Montauk-Hunterspoint ave the longest commuter run in the country?
Date: 09/14/20 20:11 Re: Grand Central Terminal Author: NYCLV Yes Poughkeepsie at 74 miles is the longest single seat ride from GCT.
Service to Wassaic requires change of trains at Southeast. Date: 09/14/20 23:06 Re: Grand Central Terminal Author: joemvcnj pdt Wrote:

The New York section of the Lake Shore Ltd was discontinued summer 2018 for that reason. GCT could not service the consist. Only the Maple Leaf and Adirondack did overnight.

Posted from Android Date: 09/15/20 07:56 Re: Grand Central Terminal Author: joemvcnj North of Brewster is not electrified. Ridership is also very light. There has been dual-mode rush hour thru trains in the past. I don't know what the current situation is.

San Bernardino to Oceanside Metrolink 110.87 is second Chris Date: 09/15/20 08:55 Re: Grand Central Terminal Author: Lackawanna484 Back in the old days, pre-pandemic didn't MN run a one seat ride with P32 units?
Posted from Android Date: 09/15/20 11:37 Re: Grand Central Terminal Author: DesertLine Yes, I don't know what they are doing now, but when I lived in Northwest CT 5 years ago, they had some rush hour thrrough trains with dual mode P32's.
Date: 09/15/20 13:20 Re: Grand Central Terminal Author: swirsk53 may not be running during COVID, but there are normally a number of through trains each day between GCT and Wassaic.
Date: 09/15/20 17:02 Re: Grand Central Terminal Author: Passfanatic In pre-covid times, there are multiple through trains during the rush hour from Wassaic to Grand Central Terminal and back and on weekends, one through train in each direction. That's a very long ride-82 miles to travel in a little over two hours.
