Hello and Welcome to Miller Railfan!
Miller Railfan is comprised of my brother and I, who are both passionate train enthusiasts. We have been filming trains since our childhood. Together with all of our videos from the past and the present, we decided to create a UA-cam channel. Seeking heritage units, horn shows, meets, and rare catches, we predominantly produce content covering Metro-North Railroad's Harlem, Hudson, and New Haven Lines (including the 3 CT branch lines.) We additionally film Amtrak, Long Island, Housatonic, CSX, and more in the Tri-State Area. Finally, we livestream at train stations at least once a year! Ultimately, we hope to capture rail history in the making. Thanks for checking us out, and please like & subscribe!
P.S. Forgot to mention, GO 231!
Hope you enjoy,

The portion of the former New Haven Railroad's mainline that approaches Bridgeport Station (going Eastbound) is on an elevation built with stone. Not only is it elevated, but there is also a giant 600 ft radius swing northward, known as Jenkins Curve. In 1955, a massive wreck occurred here by a train going over double the limit.

NEW HAVEN FL9s Operating on the Cape Cod Central Railroad
Переглядів 5002 місяці тому
In 1956, electrification of the New Haven Railroad's mainline ended in New Haven, not Boston as it does today. Due to this, they were seeking a dual-mode locomotive that could run from Grand Central under third rail power (where trains are required to under emissions regulations) all the way to Boston without a transfer. This task was no easy one for the Elcectro-Motive Division (EMD) of Genera...
DIESEL FIRST Southbound Train at Branchville!
Переглядів 5952 місяці тому
Diesel operations for Metro-North Railroad are pretty simple on their 3 East of Hudson lines: Trains outbound from Grand Central (Northbound) have the diesel unit leading and "pulling" the consist. On trains heading inbound to GCT, (southbound) the cab car leads and the diesel unit is trailing or "pushing" the consist. That's what makes this event so rare. On July 10, 2024, train 1831 needed to...

Great one o was say thank you for the video below
Very nice👍👍👍👍🚂🚂🚂
Great video!
Ecellent good Video 👍Thumbs Up👍Big LIKE👍
It might be a test train
This was filmed before the washout so trains were still running
I didn’t know the train was here
I have saw 220 and 213 5 years a week
Like Stamford local?
No, it is on its way to New York City from Danbury. From here it is an express
Miller railfan please upload your 2024 Railfan day video of Cape Cod central railroad in sandwich

😂😂Good one!
I heard that all stations in Waterbury Branch, Derby/Shelton, Ansonia, Seymour, Beacon Falls, Waterbury, and Naugatuck will be renovated and have improvements starting construction in 2025.
Yes, I have had a hand in the research/design portion of this project. The stations will be high level platforms (similar to those of the Danbury branch) and will have accessible ramps as well as additional parking spaces. All stations except for Waterbury (which already has these capabilities) will be upgraded.
There’s no date here
August 13, 2024
This was way before the damage happened and stopped all trains too right?
Yes for sure, that was the last week of August. The line is still shut down
On my birthday I went there at night to watch
Was that taken near Great River country club? Great video!
Yes it was!
Super awesome video! I like that spot along 7! 226 is climbing that hill nice and fast! I just saw it last Tuesday at Garrison. 👍
What camera do you use? The quality is amazing in this video
Thank you very much! Believe it or not, it's just an iPhone 7! Thanks for the comment and support
Great footage!
How did you do that
Route 7 parallels the tracks in this area. One person driving, one person filming
best 40th anniversary unit
Agreed, but still behind the New Haven unites in my opinion
Looking great in NYC livery. Good work, thanks for showing.

BL20GHM 114 is back in service!
218 sounds like 206’s horn a little bit
My favorite part are the BL 20 GHM’s
Ngl I know Amtrak is Amtrak for a reason, but I can think of a few stops they can share with Metro-North’s Hudson Line: -Riverdale The reason for Riverdale is to partly help mainly with people that live there only, possibly can only take M7-A’s due to extensive diesel express trains passing. Amtrak can make a quick stop there, and then go until Croton Harmon and on -Ossining: I feel it can stop there because it does look a transit center, similar to Croton-Harmon and New London, and could make a quickly stop for anyone just off the bus or doesn’t want to transfer to Croton Harmon one stop for an Amtrak. It makes sense. Peekskill: I feel like instead of flying by, it makes that one quick pit stop, and everyone starting in that are and neighborhood don’t have to go local the rest of the way. I know people will disagree, this will never happen, and this is unreal, but to my opinion, Amtrak makes more stops on New Haven line than the Hudson. Hudson can have more than just the Spuyten Duyvil junction, Croton-Harmon, and Poughkeepsie. I know, just get a card, drive/Uber or get to Amtrak stops only, but just a considerable idea to have 3-4 stops extra like New Haven Line.
If you don’t respect my opinion it’s ok, just a fictional debut thought
@@railfannerjs6308 Amtrak does not stop at Spuyten Duyvil, only Yonkers, Harmon, and Poughkeepsie. I personally think Amtrak is fine being limited service because Metro-North operates locally. I understand some stations don't have trains stopping a whole lot, but that's because not a whole lot of people get on. Per your example, Riverdale, there are only 543 daily riders. Compare that to Croton-Harmon which has almost 5,000 daily riders, it just doesn't make sense for Amtrak to add on an extra 5 minutes to their trip for that. Also, that would mean running on the platform tracks vs the inner express tracks like it currently does. This would create a logistic nightmare for MNR communications and switching. However, it will be nice to see Metro-North go into Penn Station someday which would be virtually the same thing as amtrak stopping at said locations.
231 one of the best!
Certainly our favorite locomotive!
@@MillerRailfan tbh mines the 230.
231!!👍
funny to see a ps32 next to a acela.
Honest opinion what do you think is better 220 or 230? Personally I like 230 better.
I like 230 better as well because it's in the New Haven Heritage scheme
217’s fast bell kinda freaks me out. Makes my heart race just as fast as the bell rings each time I like the ding….. *tick* ding….. *tick* But this one’s bell is like DING..DING..DING..DING..DING..DING.. *ticks off*😈 🛎️🛎️🔔🛎️🔔🔔🛎️🛎️🔔🔔🛎️🔔🛎️🔔🛎️🔔🔔🛎️ It’s just so awkward how fast that GE bell is going 😵💫
231 has a beautiful horn!
Nice! Hopefully, I will be at this station soon to film! 👍

Conrail tribute 😂 That’s as bad as Pelosi saying Biden ought to be on Mt. Rushmore. All turds!💩
How do these still work so well but not for metro north
because these are some of the few that were preserved
@@greaternyrailfan MNR didn't want to invest in aging equipment, they'd rather just put it towards new locomotives. All the FL9s needed was some TLC, something MNR didn't provide. Plus they needed more reliability than this excursion train

225 was on the southbound to south Norwalk or Stamford or grand central
To Grand Central
And none of the people on the platform noticed the difference.
Not one
You know this reminds me of virtual railfan where New Haven P32 was facing southbound into South Norwalk from the Danbury branch
