Shore Line East trains labeled as New Haven Line trains in MNR GTFS-RT?

[Piero Maddaleni]

I've been running into some GTFS-RT errors recently and took a look. I am seeing these mystery trips that go from New Haven to New Haven State Street to stops that are, as far as I can tell, not in Metro North's, Amtrak's, or any of CTDOT's GTFS feeds. The timings match up perfectly with SLE trains (in this case tripId 3236446 == train 3034). Are these in the New Haven line GTFS-RT on purpose and if so, are there any plans to add these stopIds into the MNR GTFS?

(the timings in the first screenshot are off by an hour as I am in central time)

You can definitely observe these trains on Radar; they include not only SLE trains but also Hartford Line trains. I'm intending to use this data to track the SLE and Hartford Line trains in my application (Catenary Maps), but unfortunately we have no way of knowing their position or delay east of State Street.

What I'm most confused about is the stop ids not lining up with the Shore Line east GTFS. I can't find anything that "40702" (and the others) line up with. I've had people from CTDOT reach out over getting hartford line trains added to my train trackers, but as they (AFAIK) have no realtime tracking of their own.
