New Haven Line Peak Train Scratched From Metro-North Summer Schedule

WESTCHESTER, N.Y. – Several Metro-North trains could see delays this summer when the railroad cancels two local morning peak trains, one on both the Harlem and New Haven lines, for nine weeks beginning Monday, July 1 due to scheduled track work in the Bronx.

The 8:03 a.m. Harlem Line local train out of Mount Vernon West, which arrives at Grand Central at 8:38 a.m., will be canceled. To make up for this, five different trains will make extra stops.

The 8:03 a.m. New Haven Line train from New Rochelle, which arrives at Grand Central at 9:05 a.m., will be canceled. Commuters can take the 8:08 a.m. local out of Stamford nine minutes later.

Also on the New Haven Line, the 7:09 a.m. train from New Canaan will make additional stops at Port Chester and Rye, as it will be combined with the 7:35 a.m. train that serves only Port Chester and Rye.

Metro-North commuters can expect eight other Harlem and New Haven trains to have schedule adjustments of up to five minutes, and three Hudson Line trains will have adjustments of one to two minutes.

In the evening, no peak trains will be cancelled, but 10 Harlem and New Haven afternoon peak trains will have schedule adjustments of one to six minutes. The Hudson Line afternoon peak schedule will not be affected.

The 8:03 a.m. trains should resume their regular schedule run time beginning after Labor Day. Track work includes drainage improvements, tie replacements, fencing repairs and general cleanup. A two-year, approximately $11 million drainage project will also begin during this time between Melrose and Woodlawn.
