Marble_Hill_(Metro-North_Railroad_station)_station">Image:BwyWalk0505 StationMarbleHill.jpg|thumb|300px|Marble Hill (Metro-North Railroad station) station Metro-North (officially MTA Metro-North Railroad) is a suburban Commuter train running service from New York City to the northern suburbs in New York State and Connecticut. Trains run as far as Amenia (town), New York, Poughkeepsie, New York, and New Haven, Connecticut. Metro North also provides local service within The Bronx, and from the Bronx into Midtown, Manhattan. It is operated by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (New York), which also operates the ''MTA New York City Transit'' buses and metro trains, and the Long Island Rail Road. The MTA has styled Metro-North as ''MTA Metro-North Railroad'', and has current plans to merge it with ''MTA Long Island Rail Road'' to form ''MTA Rail''.[http://www.mta.nyc.ny.us/capconstr/about.htm] There are three Metro-North lines: the Harlem, Hudson, and New Haven. The New Haven line also has three branches providing connecting service to New Canaan, Connecticut, Danbury, Connecticut, and Waterbury, Connecticut. Amtrak also runs service along the New Haven and Hudson lines; on both lines, it splits onto its own trackage to New York Penn Station. Metro-North trains run on the east side of the Hudson River and terminate at Grand Central Terminal. Metro-North also runs trains west of the Hudson River from Hoboken, New Jersey, in partnership with New Jersey Transit. Those trains go to Port Jervis, New York and Spring Valley, New York. Some services are operated by diesel, but all services running directly into Manhattan are electric powered. Many of Metro-North's trains are capable of both diesel and electric operation. On the Hudson line, trains are powered by electrified third rail south from the vicinity of Croton-Harmon train station, and diesel north of there. The Harlem line is third rail south of Southeast train station station and diesel north of there. The New Haven line is special in that trains are electrically powered through either Direct current from a third rail or Alternating current from an overhead Catenary_%28railways%29 wire. The mainline from approximately Pelham, New York train station, New York east to New Haven, as well as the entire New Canaan branch, are powered by catenary. The Danbury branch was formerly electrified but in 1961 became a diesel-only line. Locomotives on the Waterbury branch are powered by diesel. The third rails on all three of the eastern Metro North lines are unusual in that power is collected from below the third rail, as opposed to above, which is the case in the vast majority of third rail systems. This allows the third rail to be completely insulated on top. The Metro-North mascot is Metro Man. A robotic cyborg in the shape of a train, he educates children about railway safety.

Is the official name of the railroad the "Metro-North Commuter Railroad Company"? I don't see that name anywhere on their web site, for example. User:Morven 22:00, Dec 13, 2004 (UTC) :''Metro-North Commuter Railroad Company'' is the official legal name for the MTA agency known as MTA Metro-North Railroad. In 1993, MTA rebranded all of its affiliates and subsidiaries as MTA [blank] (e.g., MTA New York City Transit) in order to create a consolidated identity and to show that they are all part of the larger MTA regional transportation organization. However, as this article [http://www.mta.nyc.ny.us/mta/capital/eotf.htm] states, these "legal names" are only used for procurement documents and official transactions. The most common names, IMO, would be Metro-North, Metro-North Railroad, or MTA Metro-North Railroad. Just my two cents. User:Darkcore 03:50, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC) ::It's general Wikipedia policy to "use common names", and I feel that using this name when it's commonly used by nobody is against that policy. I'd like to propose moving this page to either Metro-North Railroad or MTA Metro-North Railroad. Any opinions, pro, con, or for one name or the other? User:Morven 07:50, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC) Metro-North Railroad would be my choice for a title. User:Atlant 12:58, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC) == Metro Man? == I have never seen such a thing in my years of riding MN. If noone objects, I will remove it. :It looks to be one of those things that goes around to local schools and teaches the kids safety.
