New Haven and Danbury today

Today I rode the Danbury branch for the first time. This marks off another Metro-North branch I still need to ride. I took a New Haven Line train to South Norwalk for the connecting Danbury branch train. I got one of the M4s heading out to South Norwalk, they look similar to the M2 but they are in sets of 3 instead of 2. The Danbury train is a standard diesel set. The ride was long but scenic. At Danbury I had a 45 minute layover, so after photographing the train, I went over to the Danbury Rail Museum. Due to the snow the outdoor portion was closed, but the inside was open so I walked around there for a bit, then went to Dunkin Donuts for a snack, and by then it was time to head back to catch the train back. The New Haven line train back was the standard M2 model, but one of the newer ones that wasn’t totally worn out. That’s it for rail trips for January, the next trip will be in February sometime.
