Despite the fact that Metro-North Railroad is close enough to part of Long Island, I never had an opportunity to use the system until 2011. Nevertheless I had to write about them.
Let it be known that I refuse to recognize the recent campaign to eliminate railroad systems from station names over the excuse of unnecessary disambiguations, with the exception of Grand Central Terminal, Stamford Transportation Center, Union Station (New Haven, Connecticut), and certain former stations. The fact that some stations also serve Amtrak, Shore Line East, and the Hartford Line trains makes no difference.
