I was wondering, currently how many yards does MNRR have. I know they have Highbridge, Croton-Harmon, White Plains, Brewster, Stamford, and New Haven. Do they have any others?

Hurry up and wait at the signal!
How many of the yards are for just storage and which ones do they do maintenance at?
Maintenance is done at any yard trains are stored at. major maintenance is done at shops in Harmon, Stamford, New Haven, North White Plains and Brewster.
Highbridge is a appearance maintenance shop, not Mechanical other than small repairs.

What sort of maintenance work do they do at the maintenance shop in Stamford?
Stamford does running repairs on M2/4/6 including trucks, traction motor changes, pantographs etc etc etc Plus Stamford has heavy repairshop where MNCR does body work like collision damage etc.

I didn't know that Stamford did that much work. Must save having to send everything to Croton-Harmon. Is Croton-Harmon mostly for the Diesel locomotive and bombardier coach repair? Bridgeport was mentioned as a maintenance and storage facility is a lot of work done at that facility?
Bridgeport des not have a shop so only field repairs.
Croton Harmon does not normally work on M2/4/6
Croton harmon does all MNCR diesel maintenance, coach maintenance and M3/m7 maintenance.
each shop normally handles the equipment that is run on that line.

Port Jervis is MNCR but is NJT-contract operated including fueling and routing servicing.
Since my friend continues to chain smoke nonstop, she is probably an Alco.
What about other yards where they don't store trains overnight like New Canaan and Norwalk. Dose Waterbury have any yards?
Some people complain about the traffic on I95, If you have a problem with traffic and the rails go where you are going, TAKE THE TRAIN!!!
New Canaan is not really a yard, a siding thats all and a siding off the siding.
Waterbury has yard but its not MNCR, it belongs to Panam railroad (guilford transportation)
Norwalk (dock yard) is basicly a MofW siding.

I was looking on MSN Live Maps and it looks like there is a fairly new repair shop in Bridgeport I guess where the old east end freight yards used to be. From the picture on the side of the building you can see Connecticut Department of Transportation on the side. What sort of repairs do they do in Bridgeport? Also when was that facility built?
