Posted by daveklepper on Wednesday, October 13, 2021 3:29 AM October 11, 2021 ICYMI: Safety Improvements at Breakneck Ridge Station Begin Preparation for Station Reopening and Fjord Trail Construction FISHKILL, NY (Dutchess County)—The Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail, MTA Metro-North Railroad, NYS Department of Transportation, and NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation announced today that work will commence October 12, 2021 on safety improvements to the Breakneck Ridge Station. Once complete, Metro-North will be able to reopen the station as a weekend stop on the Hudson Line. This is an interim step towards the comprehensive redesign of the Route 9D corridor north of Breakneck known as the Breakneck Connector. That segment will mark the first mile of the planned 7.5-mile Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail linear park when it goes to construction next year. Some initial site preparation has already taken place in the area between the train tracks and Route 9D. Metro-North removed overgrowth to ready the area for necessary measures including an off-road trail that will connect passengers to the southbound platform, a safety fence separating pedestrians from the railroad tracks, and temporary wayfinding signage. The station safety improvements are slated for completion before year’s end. The project is being funded by Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail and MTA funds secured by State Assemblywoman Sandy Galef of District 95 for Metro-North. “Safety is at the core of everything we do,” said Catherine Rinaldi, President of MTA Metro-North Railroad. “Our Breakneck Ridge station is the gateway to one of the most popular and iconic hiking destinations in the region. As Metro-North ridership continues to recover, especially weekend ridership, I am thrilled that Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail is moving ahead with these safety improvements and that we will soon be able to reopen a safer and more inviting station for our returning customers.” “The fencing Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail will install is the first step in implementing the larger Breakneck Connector project. Safety has always been one of our core aims and securing the tracks from pedestrians in this busy hiking destination is a major step forward,” said Amy Kacala, Executive Director of the Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail. The Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail is envisioned as a world-class linear park, spanning 7.5 miles along the Hudson River connecting the Village of Cold Spring and the City of Beacon in New York State’s Hudson Valley. Construction of the first segment of the Fjord Trail will commence in 2022. Metro-North, NYS DOT, and NYS Parks are among the many partners working together to make the Fjord Trail a reality, including local municipalities, governmental agencies, community groups, and regional conservation organizations, such as project lead Scenic Hudson. The Metro-North Hudson Line includes three stations where visitors will beable to access the Fjord Trail directly: Cold Spring, Beacon, and, once reopened, the Breakneck Ridge station. “This next step in improving the safety of the Route 9D corridor and the hiking experience in the Hudson Highlands is due to the collaboration of many partners. We thank everyone for the thoughtfulness of the approach to the entire system. It’s an exciting time to be in the Highlands,” said Linda Cooper, Taconic Regional Director for New York State Parks. This summer, as part of safety improvements at Hudson Highlands State Park, Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail and State Parks partnered to create the new Nimham Trail on Breakneck Ridge. The half- mile connector trail allows for a safer alternative path to start the ascent to the Breakneck summit, and eliminates two-way hiker traffic at the narrow, steep beginning of that trail

ICYMI: Governor Hochul Announces Completion of Port Jervis Metro-North Railroad Station Transformation

Station Now Fully Accessible and Given Modern Feel with Updated Platform Design Including New Artwork Inspired by History of Port Jervis Photos Available Here     Governor Kathy Hochul today announced the completion of a project that has transformed the Port Jervis station, making it fully accessible and giving it a more modern feel, as customers continue their return to the railroad. The top-to-bottom transformation at the West of Hudson terminus station included the construction of a one-car length high-level platform, a concrete ramp leading from the parking lot to the platform, and a new sidewalk.  "Our commuter rail is what keeps the metropolitan region's economy moving forward, which is why we continue to invest in modernizing and expanding the system," Governor Hochul said. "Upgrading our stations like Port Jervis will allow us to continue our comeback from the pandemic and to stay economically competitive in the long term."  Improvements were also made to the existing parking lot to allow easier access onto the platform. The platform canopy was remodeled with a modern wooden ceiling and with sleek station signage. Other upgrades include new benches with USB ports, new LCD kiosk and security cameras to enhance safety at the station.   Additionally, a brand new glass-enclosed passenger shelter was built on the platform, and includes artwork commissioned by MTA Arts & Design, and inspired by Port Jervis' rich history. The artwork titled Boat House Buggy was carefully curated by illustrator and graphic artist, Armando Veve and fabricated by Tom Patti Design. Veve's artwork is the culmination of in-depth research about Port Jervis and showcases prominent symbols, objects, architectural forms, and industries of the city's history. The glass menagerie of natural and mechanical scenes serve as a vibrant entrance to the station and point of inspiration for visitors and the Port Jervis community.   "Providing the best possible commuting experience will steer more Orange County residents towards taking the railroad into New York City," said Catherine Rinaldi, President of Metro-North Railroad. "From the accessibility upgrades to the thoughtful artwork that captures the history of the city, Port Jervis customers now have a station that will proudly serve them for decades to come."   "Port Jervis customers returning to their commute can look forward to using a more accessible and inclusive station, which can also attract new customers to our system," said Quemuel Arroyo, MTA Chief Accessibility Officer. "Ensuring we meet the needs of all our customers is a core goal at the MTA and every accessible station we bring online is a step in that direction."   "Arts & Design is excited to present Boat House Buggy to Port Jervis, a city that embraces its rich history," said Sandra Bloodworth, Director of MTA Arts & Design. "The artwork is vibrant and incredibly detailed. The in-depth research about Port Jervis by Veve morphed into the exquisite drawings, depicting the past and present of the City, and hopefully will inspire generations to come."   The project's completion now makes the station ADA-compliant and gives Port Jervis customers a modernized station. The new ramp is complemented by a newly constructed one-car length high-level platform, allowing seamless access from the station parking lot, onto the platform and onto the train.   Prior to the pandemic, the Port Jervis station served approximately 200 passengers on an average weekday, 150 on an average Saturday and 230 on an average Sunday. Recently, ridership has climbed back up from the depths of the pandemic to approximately 35 to 40 percent of pre-pandemic levels.    Orange County Executive Steven M. Neuhaus said, "I want to thank the MTA for its diligent work in completing the important work to improve the Port Jervis Station. These upgrades will improve accessibility for residents, including those with disabilities, and enhance travel for commuters and visitors. This is an exciting opportunity for Port Jervis and will make the city even more accessible for travelers from throughout the region."    Port Jervis Mayor Kelly B. Decker said, "It is with sheer excitement to see the Metro-North Railroad Station in Port Jervis re-open. This state of the art facility, the only one located west of the Hudson, is not only eye catching but more importantly fully handicapped accessible. An investment like this shows the long term commitment by Metro-North to continue servicing this line to our great city. The new station even has its own personal touch with art that was created for our city. On behalf of the people of the City of Port Jervis we 'Thank' Metro-North and others who were able to get this project completed."    Senator Michael Martucci said, "The Port Jervis Line is key to the freedom of movement of families and working people in my district. This investment at Port Jervis Statikn will improve safety and service for all customers, including those with disabilities, and I thank Metro-North for their continued commitment to our region's transportation infrastructure."    Assemblymember Karl Brabenec said, "After years of hard work, it's exciting to see what we were able to accomplish for the Port Jarvis station. Throughout the process, I worked alongside community members from all political persuasions and walks of life to keep this project to better our community moving forward. That is what good government is all about. The new high-level platform to help with boarding, updated ramp for handicapped passengers, and the beautifully designed canopy and passenger shelter are testaments to what we can accomplish when the government works for the people."

MTA Metro-North Railroad today announced that service frequencies will increase on the Hudson Line beginning on Monday Sept. 20, with weekday service returning to 82% of pre-pandemic levels and weekend service to 100% of pre-pandemic levels. The Hudson Line sustained significant damage after record rainfall from remnants of Hurricane Ida hit the area beginning on Sept. 1, continuing into the early morning hours of Sept. 2.  Some train times will be adjusted to reflect earlier departures and slightly longer trip times due to reduced capacity on the Hudson Line because of landslides and culvert damage caused by the storm.  Two tracks on an approximately six mile stretch between Greystone and Tarrytown stations remain out of service while crews continue restoration work. Customers should plan up to an extra five minutes of travel time while restoration work continues.  Posted by daveklepper on Thursday, September 16, 2021 10:35 PM   MTA Metro-North Railroad to Resume Regular Hudson Line Service Levels Monday, Sept. 20 Hudson Line Service to Resume 82% of Pre-Pandemic Weekday Service, 100% of Pre-Pandemic Weekend Service   Crews Have Continued Clean Up Work Since Record Rainfall From  Remnants of Hurricane Ida Damaged Infrastructure Along the Line   Two Tracks Remain Out of Service Between Greystone and Tarrytown Whi Restoration Work Continues; Minor Adjustments to Schedules  MTA Metro-North Railroad today announced that service frequencies will increase on  the Hudson Line beginning on Monday Sept. 20, with weekday service returning to 82%  of pre-pandemic levels and weekend service to 100% of pre-pandemic levels. Hudson Line sustained significant damage after record rainfall from remnants of Hurrican  Ida hit the area beginning on Sept. 1, continuing into the early morning hours of Sept. 2.  Some train times will be adjusted to reflect earlier departures and slightly longer trip  times due to reduced capacity on the Hudson Line because of landslides and culvert damage caused by the storm.  Two tracks on an approximately six mile stretch between Greystone and Tarrytown stations remain out of service while crews continue restoration work.

I cannot thank everyone involved enough h for their dedication and diligence.”  Metro-North was able to restore service on the Hudson Line on Tuesday, Sept\ 7  just days after the remnants of Hurricane Ida unleashed record-setting rains in the region and damaged infrastructure along the line. Service since then has operated every half hour, with some trains operating hourly.  Following initial post-storm inspections and clearance of trees, vegetation and debris from the tracks, MTA crew members and contractors restored slopes and ballast that had been washed out by floodwaters at multiple locations throughout the Hudson Line, and installed more than 600 cubic yards of heavy stone fill to stabilize areas surrounding tracks for safe operation. Much of the work has been at Greystone, where waters cascaded down from Warburton Avenue creating a mudslide onto the tracks, and at Dobbs Ferry, where damage to a culvert has removed two tracks from service until permanent repairs can be made.  Metro-North reminds customers to check , the MYmta.app, or Metro-North's TrainTime app prior to traveling.
