High Speed Crossovers
- Discussion relating to the operations of MTA MetroNorth Railroad including west of Hudson operations and discussion of CtDOT sponsored rail operations such as Shore Line East and the Springfield to New Haven Hartford Line

the words Metro-North and high speed don't go together
If I remember correctly, some years ago Metro-North rebuilt all their crossovers to limited -speed (45mph) specifications.

Not sure if there are others on the Mets.
