Hello there I saw the New Haven Local Trains with 6 Cars and I want to know how many cars does the New Haven Line Local Trains have between New York NY and Stamford CT?
 
It really just depends on whether it's rush hour, a weekday, nighttime, or a weekend. The trains vary in length depending on the time of day and the need.

A typical train probably does have 6 or 8 cars, but again as I said above it really does depend. I've seen 12 car locals. :)

I've seen 2 car trains in Stamford on Weekends.
What you saw is the shuttle to New Caanan. The shuttle starts in Stamford and runs out a branch line to New Caanan. It however is not a southbound Stamford local to Grand Central. :)
