The first trains took on passengers at the Stamford station yesterday.
After , Metro-North's much-anticipated M-8 cars made their inaugural public run on the New Haven Line Tuesday.
A six-car train left Stamford at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday bound for Grand Central Station, where it was scheduled to arrive at 11:46 a.m.
The first M-8s, built by Kawasaki, were delivered to the railroad roughly a year behind schedule in December 2009 and have been in testing since.
