Metro North Makes Upper Harlem Line Improvements
Yesterday afternoon, the MTA Metro-North Railroad announced its plans to make Upper Harlem Line improvements between July 20 & 23. Here are the details:
MTA Metro-North Railroad today announced that to ensure the on-going reliability and safety of the Harlem Line, Metro-North crews will perform critical work on the Upper Harlem Line from Thursday, July 20 to Sunday, July 23.
Metro-North crews will make extensive improvements to the Line, including renewing the River Road grade crossing in Pawling, replacing the crossing surface, rails and ties. Crews will also remove and rebuild masonry at a culvert north of the Appalachian Trail station; this work will improve drainage in the area to reduce the risk of flooding. Elsewhere along the tracks, crews will cut brush and weld rail joints.
To accommodate this track work, from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 20, buses will substitute for select trains in each direction between Southeast and Wassaic on the Harlem Line. Buses will operate 15 – 30 minutes earlier than scheduled trains. After 10 p.m. on Friday, July 21, buses will replace trains at all stations between Wassaic and Southeast. Normal train service will resume with the first scheduled trains of Monday, July 24.
Service details are below:
Southbound: Thursday, July 20
From 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., buses will substitute for four trains that normally depart from Wassaic at 10:28 a.m., 12:28 p.m., 2:18 p.m., and 4:18 p.m. to Southeast, making all scheduled stops at the following stations: Tenmile River, Dover Plains, Harlem Valley-Wingdale, Pawling and Patterson.
