North America by commuter rail
So after looking at urban rail systems, how well are commuter rail systems connected to long-distance rail in the US and Canada? I couldn't find an enthusiast site with a good list for this one, but here are the systems that I did find that are ultimately connected to longer-distance rail systems:
In fact, I only found two systems that don't connect to long-distance rail: Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit (which does connect to a ferry service though, which makes it still kind of cool to me) and WeGo Star.
- Altamont Corridor Express
- Caltrain
- Coaster
- CTrail
- Exo
- FrontRunner
- GO Transit rail
- Long Island Railroad
- MARC
- MBTA commuter rail
- Metra
- Metrolink
- Metro-North
- NJ Transit rail
- New Mexico Rail Runner Express
- Northstar
- RTD commuter rail
- SEPTA
- Sounder
- South Shore Line
- Sprinter
- SunRail
- TEXRail
- Trinity Railway Express
- Tri-Rail
- Virginia Railway Express
- West Coast Express
- Westside Express Service
