The new trains will provide service on the New Haven Line to Penn Station in New York

Governor Kathy Hochul today announced details of a major expansion of Metro-North Railroad’s railcar fleet, unveiling plans to add new trains that will provide New Haven Line service to Penn Station and four additional stations in the Bronx.

The locomotives will generally draw electrical power from the overhead wires known as catenary, and switch to battery mode for tracks in and around Penn Station where electrical traction power has different characteristics.

If approved by the MTA Board — as anticipated on Wednesday — 13 battery- and electric-powered locomotives will be purchased by exercising an option on
an existing contract with Siemens Mobility North America, which is already building 33 dual-mode locomotives for Metro-North that operate under diesel or third rail power.

The new locomotives are expected to be similar in appearance to those 4,200-horsepower diesel/electric locomotives, known by the model number SC42-DM,
which Metro-North unveiled in November 2024. More information on the video page.
