After a Saturday mudslide severely limited train traffic through Westchester County over the weekend, Metro-North and Amtrak announced plans for a close to full restoration of service on Monday.
The mudslide occurred around 9:45 a.m. in Scarborough following a day of heavy rain. Rock and cement fell onto two of the four tracks suspending service between Tarrytown and Croton-Harmon.
Metro-North Railroad is expected to operate on a "near-normal weekday schedule" Monday morning, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced. Metro-North will adjust schedules and cancel four of the 158 trains that operate on the Hudson Line to ease congestion, the governor said.
The following Metro-North trains will not operate on Monday:

“In the face of dangerous weather and a looming deadline, our MTA team worked around-the-clock to restore the safe, reliable service New Yorkers count on," Hochul said in a statement. "Hundreds of thousands of commuters will be able to use Metro-North to commute to work Monday morning because of this extraordinary effort."
Hochul advised commuters to check the MTA website for updated information before traveling.
