MTA announced Tuesday that train service will be restored less than two days after severe storms in Hudson Valley damaged tracks on upper Hudson and upper Harlem lines.

Starting Tuesday night at 6:15 PM there will be limited northbound Hudson Line Service to Poughkeepsie from Grand Central. The Hudson Line service will be fully operational by Wednesday, July 12, as well as the Upper Harlem Line service between Southeast and Wassaic. At least one woman was killed when she was swept away by floodwaters while walking along a road.

This is an improvement from Monday when service was only going as far as the Croton Harmon station. The closure affected the commutes of 14,000 people who were stuck without a ride. The closures are due to Sunday’s storm which badly damaged the rails, covering them in water, downed trees, and even a wall fell over on the tracks. What would have taken 30 minutes for some to get home is stretching to two hours or more.Featured
