Metro north schedule new haven line12/19/2023 ![]() On September 25, 2013, a main feeder cable that provides electricity to an 8-mile (13 km) long segment of the New Haven Line failed, causing electric train service over the line to halt. MTA transferred the station to Metro-North in 1983. This reconstruction project was taking place despite Penn Central's continuous financial despair throughout the 1970s, which forced them to turn over their commuter service to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. The new cars did not include boarding steps, or traps, as their predecessor 4400 Pullman "Washboard" cars did, and could only board passengers at stations with high-level platforms. This was done to accommodate the arrival of new rail cars known then as Cosmopolitans, now more commonly known as M2s. The station was updated in 1972 from low-level to high-level platforms. ![]() Īs with all New Haven Line stations in Westchester County, the station became a Penn Central station upon acquisition by the Penn Central Railroad in 1969. Between 19, it also served as a station for the New York, Westchester and Boston Railway (NYW&B), and was one of two stations in Harrison to serve the NYW&B, the other one was at West Street and lasted just as long. Unfortunately, it was little more than a flag stop until NY&NE built a station in 1870, before the line was acquired by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad in 1872. Railroad service through Harrison dates back to the 1840s when the New York and New Haven Railroad laid tracks through the town.
