Harlem Line Track Work This Weekend
Just a short time ago, MTA Metro-North Railroad announced that they will be performing $100,000 worth of track improvement work this weekend on the Harlem line. Here are more details via the official press release I received:
MTA Metro-North Railroad today announced that crews will perform $100,000 in track improvement work on the Upper Harlem Line between Wassaic and Southeast this coming weekend to ensure the on-going reliability and safety of the railroad. Workers will improve the Corbin Road railroad crossing in Pawling, replacing the crossing surface, rails and ties, and elsewhere along the tracks they will cut brush and weld rail joints.
As a result, buses will substitute for trains on the Harlem Line at the seven stations between Southeast and Wassaic after 10 p.m. on Friday, May 19, through Sunday, May 21. Normal train service will resume with the first scheduled train of Monday, May 22. Train service at the 31 stations between Grand Central and Southeast will not be affected.
Service details are below:
