A mudslide in Westchester County is impacting train service north out of New York City for the weekend. As of Sunday morning, Metro-North was still reporting suspension of service at some stations.
Travel on Metro-North's Hudson Line is delayed with trains only running hourly between Grand Central and Tarrytown and Croton-Harmon and Poughkeepsie, according to the railroad's account on X, formerly Twitter.
The MTA said it is strongly recommending passengers opt for the Harlem Line instead of the Hudson Line. The railroad also recommends using Bee-line bus service connecting to the Harlem Line.

Metro-North described the mudslide as "significant" and attributed it to Saturday's rain. The mudslide occurred around 9:45 a.m. near the Scarborough station in the village of Briarcliff Manor, MTA said.
The MTA released a series of photos Saturday afternoon showing the extent of the damage from the mudslide.
The mudslide is also impacting Amtrak service heading north and west out of New York City. Amtrak service between New York City and Albany is suspended for the rest of Saturday, according to Amtrak. Travel on Amtrak to Boston and Connecticut is not affected.

Amtrak is encouraging customers who need to make changes or have questions about their reservations to call 1-800-USA-RAIL.
In a post on X, Gov. Kathy Hochul said no injuries were reported and no one was stranded as a result of the mudslide.
Hochul said the goal is restore service in time for the Monday morning commute.
"At this point, our top priority is to restore service as quickly as possible and we are deeply grateful to the hard-working MTA personnel and emergency responders who are working to keep commuters, motorists and all New Yorkers safe," Hochul said in a statement.
