About the train
This is a third-generation unit of the 311000 series, a familiar sight across South Korea’s metropolitan rail lines. Its nickname, "뱀눈이" (“Snake Eyes”), comes from the sleek, elongated headlights that define its striking front design.
Unit 311X67 was photographed at Suwon Station, one of the key railway junctions south of Seoul, where commuter and high-speed lines intersect. The train’s form and function capture the evolution of urban transit — efficient, modern, and unmistakably Korean.

Although there has been regular passenger rail service between New York City and the outer counties by the last quarter of the nineteenth century by the end of the second World War suburban expansion, gridlocked traffic and lack of cheap parking made commuting by car had become unfeasible for too many people and there was a great expansion of commuter rail service to meet the demand. This is a Metro North train serving the Hudson Line that goes through Westchester and Putan Counties.

Weary eyed commuters getting a fine view of Longroyd Lane and the Huddersfield Narrow Canal from high up on Paddock Viaduct. These couple of Northern 153 units are coming to the end of their journey (and working life) with 2B40 05:37 Sheffield to Huddersfield.

The last train to regularly use Cleveland Union Terminal was the Youngstown-Cleveland commuter train than ran on the former EL. Since this was taken in July 1976, it’s technically a Conrail train but the equipment hadn’t yet been touched. By the time of the last run on January, 14, 1977, the locomotives would be tastefully patched with a CR emblem and renumbered in Conrail’s scheme. There had been numerous attempts to discontinue the service earlier but none succeeded until the avalanche of changes that came with the formation of Conrail. Federal funding ended and Ohio wasn’t interested in continuing the money losing run. Many of the regular passengers worked in the Union Terminal building and got off the train by the Aurora stop, only 23 miles from CUT. The train continued onto Youngstown mostly empty for turning and servicing.
Train 29 would arrive in Cleveland at 7:40. The crew would back the train 3 miles to the E 55th St yard where they would turn it and park it in the yard until about 4:30 when it would be backed down to CUT for the evening run. Train 28 departure was at 5:20 with arrival in Youngstown at 7:40.
In this view the train is backing down to CUT just at the west end of the yard passing over what is now I490. Also visible in the background is N&W’s former NKP E55th St yard. When I first moved to Cleveland in 1976, my office was 6 mostly freeway miles from this location. Normal quit time was 4:00 so if weather, traffic, and schedule cooperated, I could get down to the track before the train left for CUT. The day of the last run was the normal meeting night for our local railroad club and we held our meeting on the train along with the regulars. One group of regulars played their last game of bridge after starting 30 years earlier.
En route to Newark Broad Street Station, a New Jersey Transit commuter train speeds along the alignment laid by the Lackawanna's predessor, the Morris and Essex Railroad back in 1838. While the railroad has modernized through the years, the commuting experience would be familiar to a traveler of 1840.
