Shore Line East: Full Ride Train #3653 (New London-New Haven)

Shore Line East is a commuter-rail line in the State of Connecticut, mostly funded by the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CDOT). Shore Line East runs trains mostly between Old Saybrook, and New London to New Haven, with limited weekday-peak service to Stamford.

In this video we're on board Shore Line East Train #3653, the weekend semi-express train from New London Union Station to New Haven Union Station. The trip between the two stations takes little over an hour, covering 51 miles between the two points. Our top speed on the line is 80 MPH. The stations stops are Old Saybrook, Westbrook, Guilford, Branford, New Haven-State St., and New Haven Union Station. Since this is a semi-express train, we skip Clinton and Madison stations due to a lack of Westbound platforms at those stations.

Shore Line East trains operate in "push-pull" configuration, where the locomotive leads on Westbound trains, while on Eastbound trains the locomotive pushes from the rear, while a cabcar leads the train. Today our train is lead by ex-Amtrak CDOT P40DC #838 pulling four Mafersa coaches with the last being a cabcar.
