RENSSELAER — Amtrak service to Penn Station remained suspended Monday morning while crews dealt with structural issues involving a building above the tracks in New York City. ... Amtrak passengers can disembark at Croton-Harmon and take Metro-North trains into New York.
At 6:03 a.m., Amtrak reported track closures on the Empire Service Line will end at the Croton-Harmon station in Westchester. There was no immediate word on when full service to New York would be restored.
Amtrak said the temporary suspension arose due to “safety concerns stemming from structure issues of a non-Amtrak, privately owned building above the Empire Line Tracks in New York City.” Amtrak spokesperson Jason Abrams said the building in question is a parking garage on West 51st Street in Manhattan. The service disruptions began on Sunday.
On Sunday, Amtrak passengers’ tickets were being honored on Metro-North trains between Croton-Harmon and New York.
