Post-Storm Repairs to Upper Harlem Line

MTA Metro-North Railroad reminds riders that this weekend, Saturday and Sunday, March 24-25, crews will out in force on the upper Harlem Line strengthening the railroad’s infrastructure following the series of powerful nor’easters that hit the region this month.

Crews will be reinforcing power poles and wires, enhancing the Harlem Line’s resiliency.

To accommodate work essential to maintaining the railroad’s safety and service reliability, substitute bus service will be in effect between Southeast and Goldens Bridge Stations this weekend. Regular weekend train service will operate after 7 p.m.
