	Metro North Railroad
		The railroad is a subsidiary of MTA, a quasi-independent transit agency, and Metro North is, in effect, a contractor that runs the service under the joint agreement.
		It must notify MTA and Metro North of any proposed amendment to branch line service at least 60 days before the date on which it anticipates that notice of the amendment is to be made public (or longer if required by union contracts).
		If Connecticut shows that Metro North agreed to a labor contract modification for the benefit of another MTA operating agency, the state is entitled to a proportional annual credit to be enforced through federal court action.

	Metro-North Parking Fees Begin - Technology - RedOrbit (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The fees have been four years in the making at the railroad's west-of-Hudson stations, but if their inexorable advance is no surprise, it also is of no comfort to some commuters.
		Then, the timing of the new policy couldn't have been worse, coming as it did on the heels of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's decision to squander a chunk of its $1 billion surplus on holiday fare discounts that were of little benefit to west-of-Hudson commuters -- and of no benefit in a transit strike.
		Both Orange County Executive Ed Diana and Rockland County Executive Scott Vanderhoef faulted the railroad and the MTA for not using some of the surplus to continue free parking -- at least until all of the promised station improvements were completed.

	Crotonblog: Metro North Railroad Testing for Train Noise Today
		Metro North is hoping to present a proposal to the FRA that will reduce the number of tests required by allowing a representative approach, which does not require each and every type of equipment to be tested, but instead allows representative sampling of each type of equipment.
		Metro North has hired an acoustical expert to assist in putting together the proposal for representative testing, and he will be taking train horn measurements within the Harmon Yard tomorrow May 23, 2006 between the hours of 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM.
		The testing to be done tomorrow will both provide measurements to comply with the requirements as well as data to be used in an attempt at convincing FRA to permit a representative testing approach.
