compilation of all the videos i made of the waterbury branch on my old camera

MCGUFFIN

A few weeks ago I was visiting my mother’s house. I can see the waterbury branch of metro north’s new haven line across the river from her house. i spotted 2 trains that i wanted to film. i saw a northbound train with 3 cdot bombardier coaches pulled by a shore line east gp38 (painted in the new haven railroad’s mcguiness scheme). later there was a southbound with 5 metro north bombardier coaches pushed by a metro north p32 in the standard silver and blue scheme. normally that branch doesn’t see trains like this. when i was a kid this branch was run by 1 or 2 budd rdc’s or spv 2000’s. later it was regularly run by an fl9 and 2 bomb coaches. now it’s usually a p40 leased from amtrak and 2 or 3 bomb cars. so i figured i would try and get one of these “unique” trains but sadly when i filmed, it was another amtrak leased p40 and 3 bom cars.

Ever encounter those drivers who just can’t get the concept of yield/merge and that only one vehicle should occupy the lane at any one time? Nevermind sharing the lane with an OSL. We encountered this idiot in Waterbury CT. The idiot encounter begins at the 3:20 mark.
