About: Beacon Line

An Entity of Type: Regional rail, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Metro-North Railroad's Beacon Line is a non-revenue line connecting the railroad's three revenue lines east of the Hudson River. From west to east, the lines that connect are Hudson Line, Harlem Line, and the Danbury Branch of the New Haven Line. It was purchased by Metro-North in 1995 for $4.2 million from Maybrook Properties, a subsidiary of the Housatonic Railroad, to preserve it for future use, training, and equipment moves. Maybrook Properties purchased the line from Conrail after Conrail withdrew from the Danbury, Connecticut, freight market in 1992. On February 26, 2021, Metro-North announced it would file with the Surface Transportation Board to seek an adverse discontinuance of the Housatonic Railroad's trackage rights over the line, as a first step toward converting the prope

In recent months, several studies have been underway to bring Metro-North service between Danbury and Southeast. (en)
