Sticker Cars. On the afternoon of Sunday October 8, 2023, Kawasaki built M8 9365 led Shore Line East Train 3645, seen crossing Shaw's Cove in New London, Connecticut on the way to New Haven, Connecticut. Of the more than 500 M8s purchased by MTA Metro-North Railroad and the Connecticut Department of Transportation, generally 24 are assigned to Shore Line East Service since May of 2022. These cars have their third rail shoes removed for clearance purposes and recently have had a "CT Rail - Shore Line East" sticker placed over the Metro-North logo.
