Hudson Line Service to Resume 82% of Pre-Pandemic Weekday Service, 100% of Pre-Pandemic Weekend Service Crews Have Continued Clean Up Work Since Record Rainfall From Remnants of Hurricane Ida Damaged Infrastructure Along the Line Two Tracks Remain Out of Service Between Greystone and Tarrytown While Restoration Work Continues; Minor Adjustments to Schedules |
|---|
MTA Metro-North Railroad today announced that service frequencies will increase on the Hudson Line beginning on Monday Sept. 20, with weekday service returning to 82% of pre-pandemic levels and weekend service to 100% of pre-pandemic levels. The Hudson Line sustained significant damage after record rainfall from remnants of Hurricane Ida hit the area beginning on Sept. 1, continuing into the early morning hours of Sept. 2.
Some train times will be adjusted to reflect earlier departures and slightly longer trip times due to reduced capacity on the Hudson Line because of landslides and culvert damage caused by the storm. Two tracks on an approximately six mile stretch between Greystone and Tarrytown stations remain out of service while crews continue restoration work. Customers should plan up to an extra five minutes of travel time while restoration work continues.

Posted by MidlandMike on Wednesday, November 3, 2021 9:31 PM I used to use White Plains station in the early 1960s. The area is changed a lot. The new station is 2 blocks north of the old station. There are high rise appartments where the old station was. The old station looked like a mini GCT, with 3 large arched windows out front and back, and a single arched window on each side. It had 3 tracks at the time, and looked like it had 4 tracks at one time. It was reduced to 2 tracks (as it is today) by the mid 1960s. - Quick Reply - Reply < |
