Limited Hudson Line Service Targeted for Early Next Week 150 Track Workers and Inspectors Converged on Areas Impacted by Storm Harlem and New Haven Lines Resumed Service Friday; Full Service Expected on Those Lines for Tuesday Morning Rush Customers Encouraged to Check mta.info Before Traveling Metro-North President Cathy Rinaldi announced today the return to service on several MNR lines following the massive storm that severely impacted Westchester, Putnam and Duchess counties earlier this week.
Crews continue to work to clear flooding and mudslide conditions and remove downed trees and debris. Crews were able to clear more than 10 inches of water at two critical substations that allowed Metro-North to run electric service Friday morning. “We've got excellent employees working to restore service as quickly as possible following unprecedented rainfall throughout the region,” said Metro-North President Cathy Rinaldi. “I cannot thank our crew members enough for the heroic work they have been doing to get the region moving again. Part of our priorities as an organization is to be prepared for climate change and to make the necessary steps to harden our infrastructure.” Metro-North will cross-honor tickets between the Hudson and Harlem Lines and waiving the surcharge for on-board fares. Since conditions can change, and customers should check MTA.info or use the MYmta.app or Metro-North's TrainTime app prior to traveling. |
