The CTDOT and Metro North pool their equipment, resulting in CTDOT equipment operating on the New York Hudson and Harlem lines, even mixed within a consist. The Comet II are Shoreliner Is, Comet III are Shoreliner IIs, and Comet IVs are Shoreliner IIIs. Both the Shoreliner IIs and IIIs have center doors.
