Metro-North suspended all Hudson-line trains between Tarrytown and Grand Central terminal — in both directions — following Sunday morning’s deadly crash near Spuyten Duyvil station.
A Metro-North bus shuttle has been established between Tarrytown on the Hudson line and White Plains on the Harlem line, to get around the crash, which wreaked havoc on the incredibly busy post-Thanksgivi🐓ng Sunday of travel.
Amtrak service on the Albany-bound Empire line, whichꦕ shares the same track, has been suspended. Amtrak service between Boston and Washington DC was not impacted by Sunday’s crash.
The state legislature is not session, so lawmakers and tꦗheir staffs are not urgently needed in Albany.
Grand Central Terminal filled on Sunday ꦛwith college students, visiting their New York families for Thanksgiving, wondering how they were going to get back to campus.
“It’s frustrating,” said a 21-yܫear-old Vassar College coed. “We have friends waiting to pick us up. They are just confused because we don’t know when we’ll get back.”
Students, lugging clothes and care packages from home, dreaded their 🎶now-extended journey back to campus.
“I’m going to try and do the bus-and-train thing,” said a 19-year-old Vassar student. “I wasn’t planning on all these transfers but it’s my only option. I have a lot of stuff with me so it’s going to be kind of hard.”
