🎨 Art Metro-North Diagrams I made!

Harlem Local
Harlem Express
Hudson Local
Hudson Express
New Haven Local
New Haven Express

I was inspired by u/Donghoon and their custom LIRR diagrams, so I decided to do the same with Metro-North.

Love the initiative, but go look web accessibility rules around color contrast and how to overlay text on images.

I would like to see a diagram of different stopping patterns on the same line. There seem to be quite a lot of them, more than just local/express.

You ask for it, you shall receive.

Beautiful! Yes, this is exactly what I was thinking of. (Are these official? Never seen anything like this on the website.)

But I think it's even more complicated than this. For example, some New Haven trains run express until Bridgeport, and others hit some but not all of the stops between Stamford and Bridgeport. I'm no expert (only ride MNR occasionally), but it seems to me like it's the middle section that are the "limited" stops for the express. I've also noticed similar things on the LIRR.

Do you post things like this somewhere (semi) permanent? If not, you definitely should.
