You have to get up pretty early if you want to check out a spring or summer sunrise. According to SunriseSunset.com, the sunrise time for New London is steadily approaching 5:30 a.m. and won't reverse until June 22 after a solid 15 days at 5:15 a.m. At this time of year, the red-eye train from New York arrives in New London right at the moment the sun is coming up over Groton.

The short footage captures a spectacular sunrise, silhouetting the Groton Monument and Electric Boat buildings on the opposite shore. By the time the train nears , it seems like there's been a subtle shift in the light to brighten up the new day.
