Metro-North RR Train 756 leaves the coach yard at Croton-Harmon to begin its 33-mile run down the former NYC mainline alongside Hudson River to Grand Central Terminal, New York, on Sept. 12, 2013. The ex-NYC mainlines to the right continue on to Albany.
With three lines radiating north out of Grand Central Terminal plus service to Port Jervis on the former Erie, Metro North covers a wide swatch of New York's northern suburbs with varying terrains.
