You may have heard him - Paul Pesante has been a train buff his entire life. Just before COVID, he decided to bring his childhood rhyming talents to the rails.

"Your 9:18 express headed west. Fairfield station next," said Pesante.

On the Metro North New Haven line, there's a conductor who likes to rhyme.

"Want some connections folks, don't be nervous, you'll get the train to Danbury plus more local service," said Pesante.

"PA Paul Pesante is his name. And after hearing him, you'll be glad you came."

"This is a people driven business. So, I have to give the people what they want. Without the people here we're all dressed up and no where to go," said Pesante.

"Please keep your feet off the seat and use that phone in a low and civil tone," he announced.

"He makes the morning commute absolutely fabulous. He rhymes every single station," said Kierra Holroyd from East Haven.

"Ladies and gentleman South Norwalk station as promised this will be, and as I promised you track number 3," said Pesante.

He's been bringing smiles to Metro North for over 20 years as this trip to Grand Central nears.

"Happy passengers equals happy crew. And when you give them something like that, they can't help but smile," said Pesante.

"It's all in good fun. As long as it makes people smile, makes people laugh. It's called job well done," rhymed Pesante.

"Not many people can sit there and say they love what they do. I never thought it would take off as much as it has, but it's blowing my mind how much people appreciate it," he said.

"One stop left to go. The stop coming up next, you all know. Greatest terminal in the world, second to none. Grand Central terminal where this journey's done. Passengers exiting before you leave; your personal belongings make sure to retrieve. Please look up down, all around. Items left on board go to lost and found. Thank you for choosing Metro North and choosing not to drive. You're in New York on time and not stuck on I-95," Pesante rhymed.

Pesante says when he retires he's going to write a book about his rhymes.
