Metro-North Crews Continue Post-Storm Repairs To Harlem Line

KATONAH, NY — MTA Metro-North Railroad announced that this weekend, Saturday and Sunday, April 7-8, and continuing over the next three consecutive weekends, crews will return to the Harlem Line to strengthen the railroad’s infrastructure following the series of powerful nor’easters that hit the region in March.
