Improvements could shorten travel times

New York State announced on May 30 that it will provide $25 million to Metro-North for improvements on the Hudson Line that could shorten travel times.

The investment will fund projects such as a second track at Spuyten Duyvil; signal and trackwork at Croton-Harmon; more capacity at the Poughkeepsie Yard; climate resilience to protect tracks and equipment; and a signal redesign at Yonkers.

In addition, the Metropolitan Transportation Agency said it plans to evaluate adding a third track to the Harlem Line and connecting the Hudson Line to Penn Station. A working group will also develop plans for travel by Metro-North or the Long Island Railroad to MetLife Stadium for the 2026 World Cup.

Upgrading the Beacon station would be nice. That place is a disgrace; you walk through muck. [via Facebook]

The Cold Spring overpass is horrendous. Clean and fix it up, along with the vehicular overpass, which is dropping chunks of concrete and rusted metal. [via Facebook]
