These new timetables became effective beginning Saturday, Oct. 3. 

Hudson Line changes:

  • Single-track operation in a six-mile section from Harlem-125th Street through Marble Hill. No operation of usual weekend service through the work zone
  • Customers traveling from points north of Croton-Harmon will need to make an across-platform change of trains at Croton-Harmon. 
  • The semi-express trains that operate between Croton-Harmon and Grand Central Terminal (in both directions), will only operate between Croton-Harmon and Marble Hill; customers riding one of these trains will change trains at Marble Hill to continue their trip. These trains are indicated by a green arrow in the timetable.
  • Three southbound trains from Poughkeepsie – the 9:40 a.m. train on Saturdays, and the 10:40 a.m. and 3:40 p.m. trains on Saturdays and Sundays – and three northbound trains to Poughkeepsie, the 4:14 p.m. train on Saturdays, and the 5:14 p.m. and 6:14 p.m. trains, will not operate for the duration of the work.
  • On weekdays, the 9:15 a.m. train from Poughkeepsie will return to its 9 a.m. departure time, reflecting the completion of summer track work in the area. 

Harlem Line changes: 

  • On weekends, stops have been adjusted on the 3:40 p.m., 4:40 p.m. and 5:40 p.m. trains from Southeast to reflect ridership demand, make them consistent with other trains in similar time periods, and to provide more reliable service during necessary track maintenance work.

New Haven Line changes:

  • Devon Transfer will remain in service on the Waterbury Branch through November 15. (A new timetable will be issued on November 16 when the Devon Transfer is closed.)
  • Inbound on weekdays, Greenwich will be added as a stop to the 7:56 a.m. train from New Canaan, previously the 7:58 a.m. train, to permit convenient connections to Greenwich for customers arriving in Stamford on the 5:50 a.m. Shore Line East train from New London.
