Hudson Line Work Means Weekend Schedule Changes

MTA Metro-North Railroad is advising customers of schedule changes during the weekends of Nov. 10-11 and Nov. 17-18 on the Hudson Line. Crews will make improvements to the Hudson Line in the area between Peekskill and Beacon.

They will surface track and switches in the vicinity of Cold Spring, which officials said should help ensure that customers enjoy a smooth ride and safe, reliable service.

This track work will require single-track operation for a distance of 12 miles between Peekskill and Beacon, resulting in minor schedule adjustments for certain trains during the next two weekends.

Local trains operating between Grand Central Terminal and Croton-Harmon will not be affected by the track work and will run on a regular weekend schedule.

The following schedule adjustments will be made on those weekends:

Northbound to Poughkeepsie

• Trains from Grand Central Terminal to Poughkeepsie will depart 15 minutes later and will arrive at Poughkeepsie 15 minutes later than reflected in the current timetable dated September 30, 2018, through April 13, 2019.
• Trains from Grand Central to Poughkeepsie that normally depart at 4:14 p.m., 5:14 p.m., 6:14 p.m. and 8:14 pm are temporarily canceled.

Southbound to Grand Central Terminal

• Trains from Poughkeepsie to Grand Central Terminal will depart Poughkeepsie 15 minutes earlier and will arrive at Poughkeepsie 15 minutes earlier than reflected in the current timetable dated September 30, 2018, through April 13, 2019.
• Trains from Poughkeepsie to Grand Central Terminal that normally depart at 8:27 a.m., 9:40 a.m., 10:40 a.m. and 3:40 p.m. are temporarily canceled.
