Where shall I go today? The 9:43 to Poughkeepsie is the pick of the bunch, locomotive hauled and headed up the east bank of the Hudson River. But with an hour to go until departure time, I'll enjoy this special place known as Grand Central Terminal.
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.
