It’s always a melodic good time when the Yale Glee Club rides @mtametronorth.bsky.social from New Haven to New York for a performance, and then back home afterward. Hope they captivate their audience and enjoy the train rides.
The Yale Glee Club brought the holiday spirit onboard Metro-North!

They rode the New Haven Line into NYC for their performance at the Yale Club — and along the way, filled the train car with a stirring rendition of Ding Dong Merrily On High.

My friends, looking at this photo that Amy took of a duplex in Chester, PA, I am seeing the textbook definition of, “I know a guy…”

So happy to see the @mtametronorth.bsky.social Holiday Lights Trains back this year, and we’re doubling the festivities, with a dual-mode diesel-electric train joining an electric train, so we’ll have Holiday Lights Trains all across the network!
The trains look great!
The Holiday Lights Trains are back!

We'll be doubling the holiday spirit this year with the addition of a festive diesel train, bringing bright lights and spreading holiday cheer to even more stations!

These Holiday Lights trains will make their debut on Friday and run through New Year’s.

It was Philadelphia Marathon morning, and we rang this tune a few times for the runners passing a block away from @stpetersphila.bsky.social Runners, well done!

Headed home in the elevator at 5:50 pm.
I am SO GLAD I take the train and don’t have to deal with this abysmal traffic every day!

@nybg.bsky.social is such a magical place over the holidays, and their Holiday Train Show is great!
And the @mtametronorth.bsky.social Botanical Garden train station - real life! - is right at the entrance!
A fun train ride and no hassles or expense parking!

Veterans Day just seems a little early…

The wreath-hanging ceremony was moving and emotional, as it is each year, and having the chance to see the new Veterans locomotive on Track 27 was a big plus.
We celebrated our annual Veterans Day Wreath Hanging Ceremony this morning, honoring all those who served.

Our newest heritage locomotive—created and designed by Metro-North veterans—is on display at track 27 in Grand Central through tomorrow, entering passenger service at the end of the month.
