For 117 years, this swing bridge has carried generations of passengers across the Connecticut River, a vital link in the #NortheastCorridor. A new bridge, currently under construction, will enable faster, more reliable service for Amtrak, Shore Line East, & freight trains.

Known as the “New Haven,” this historic railroad played a pivotal role in shaping passenger and freight rail in #NewEngland. Although the railroad is no longer operating, the infrastructure and services it built are still in use on the #NortheastCorridor today.

This week our construction team on the Hudson River Ground Stabilization Project site hit an exciting milestone! They have now mixed more than 100 of the primary columns that will reinforce the riverbed.

We’re making great progress, mixing about 3 columns per working day.

After nearly seven years as Metro-North President, Catherine Rinaldi is retiring next month!

The first woman to lead the railroad, Cathy oversaw Metro-North’s best on-time performance in history in 2024, and LIRR’s largest service increase as interim president. (1/2)

Our HYCC-3 team with @amtrak.com recently reached a major milestone: driving the last secant pile that will hold up the sides of hole where the new concrete casing will be built. The next step is excavating, then building the new concrete casing to connect the new tunnel to NY Penn Station.
