Amtrak service to NYC restored

Nov 16, 2023 1:01 am

Lauren Stanforth reports in the Times Union that Amtrak now says all train service between Albany and New York City will return to normal on Nov. 16. A problem with a building over train tracks in Manhattan shut down the line since Nov. 12, and was supposed to resume on Nov. 17, but will be back a day earlier. Amtrak officials warn of minor delays until all tracks are fully restored on Nov. 18. Riders from the north have had to get off at the Croton-Harmon station in Westchester County and switch to Metro-North trains there to get into the city since Nov. 12. Amtrak officials said, “We remain in close coordination with the NYC Department of Buildings and the parking garage owner’s contractor, who made significant overnight progress on construction and anticipate completion tonight (Wednesday).... In addition, we have been assured by the NYC Department of Buildings, and other city and state agencies that we are collaborating with, that upon the garage work completion, it will be safe again for train travel.” Read more about this story in the Times Union.
