MTA Metro-North Railroad Weather Service Advisory Status

Metro-North Service Suspended During Hurricane Irene

Metro-North's storm preparation has begun and regular train service will continue through Sat., Aug. 27th, at 12 Noon.

Metro-North will suspend all train service beginning at 12 Noon on Saturday, August 27 due to the expected severity of Hurricane Irene and its impact on our service territory.

Shutting down the system allows Metro-North to secure and protect its equipment and infrastructure from the hurricane force winds and flooding expected to hit the territory on Sunday, August 28.

The shutdown will be as orderly as possible and early enough so that all trains enroute will be able to complete their runs.

Grand Central Terminal and all outlying Metro-North station buildings will be closed for the duration of the service suspension.

For the safety of our customers, those needing to travel are encouraged to do so as soon as possible and not wait until the last minute.
