You will never know what you will be capable of until you try
I'll be there as a dealer for the model show and sale
This looks incredible, if I didn't already have plans this weekend I would be there. That NY Central F unit sounds awesome (and getting to meet 'Metro Man' is also another big plus)
For those wanting to bring photo and video cameras to this event keep in mind whats on the bottom of the website
''Please note: No backpacks will be permitted in event spaces during the Parade of Trains, including Vanderbilt Hall and on the platforms serving Tracks 34 to 37. There will be no bag check available.''

I've been to a couple in the last few years, at both the Valley Forge Convention Center and the Philadelphia Convention Center, and there was never a wait like that, and these were big shows. Granted, there were no old train cars for people to visit, so maybe that(and the free price of admission) were the culprits
From what I heard is that at 12 noon they closed the line to reorganize it. I waited about 1 hour and 15 minutes half of which was spent sitting and waiting in an air conditioned Metro North Train. it was very relaxing. When it was our turn the entire train car was emptied out and brought over to the parade of trains.
It's hard to take chances but sometimes it's better if you do

I was a vendor at the show this weekend, Saturday was a complete mad house and they had counter 30,000 + people that visited the old trains, Sunday was about half. I got to see them earlier before they let the public in, although I was only able to enter a few of them as most were closed. I didn't anything about a five hour wait but knew that they closed the line around 2 PM as they didn't expect the crowds that they received. In Metro North's eye, the show was a big success that they already plan on doing it again next year for National Train Day, which was Saturday. This was directly from the show's organizer as she asked if I would be interested in attending next year's show as we were packing up on Sunday.

Anyone notice that the Red Caboose hobby store had a table selling aircraft models as well
There was a table selling some interesting railroad history books but they were horrendously expensive...
