Unfortunately, I'll miss the first day of service... but I'm sure plenty of folks will be there to document the event!

Terrapin Station wrote:Besides riding the first train to make a revenue station stop at the new station, who is going to ride the first revenue Harlem and New Haven trains to make a stop at the station (and on the way, use the wye)? That's pretty significant.You're right. I hadn't thought of that. It looks like the first revenue train to use the wye track in the history of Metro-North Railroad will be #6231, the express from New Haven, which is due to arrive at Yankees-E. 153rd Street at 2:16 p.m. on Saturday, May 23. That means it should be going over the wye at 2:13 or 2:14 or so. First Harlem Line train to use the wye should be #9134, due at the stadium at 2:27 p.m.

Example, for a 7:05 weekday game, the first game train will roll out at about 10:30 and the last at 11:10. If the game is on a rain delay or extra innings, the last "game train" will be adjusted to depart approximately 45 minutes after the end of the game.If only someone had told this New Haven Register sports columnist.
