New Haven Open House 2025

The Metro-North Open House for 2025 will take place at our New Haven Yard facility. The Yard is only accessible via a free shuttle service departing from the Metro-North New Haven Union Station.

The Open House is a special event that offers an inside look at our railroad operations and rich history. This family-friendly event will feature displays of our train fleets as well as exhibits from various departments showcasing the important work they do behind the scenes.

Guests will enjoy interactive exhibits, demonstrations, and a railroad history museum filled with fascinating artifacts. The Open House is a great opportunity for employees, their families, and the community to connect with our team, learn more about our mission, and celebrate the proud legacy of MNR.
