Metro-North Railroad’s Beacon Line is a non-revenue line connecting the railroad’s three revenue lines east of the Hudson River. West to east they are the Hudson Line Harlem Line and the Danbury Branch of the New Haven Line. It was purchased by Metro-North in 1995 from Maybrook Properties a subsidiary of the Housatonic Railroad to preserve it for future use for training and equipment moves.
