Friday Headlines: Track Work Changeup Edition
Look alive, day trippers.
The Metro-North’s Hudson Line will have altered service to nd from New Hamburg and Poughkeepsie beginning tomorrow due to track work between Beacon and Poughkeepsie. Some trains that normally begin and end in Poughkeepsie will operate out of Beacon instead.
Labor Day will be the exception to these changes that run until Sept. 13.
Be sure to check train schedules moving forward unless you are faking your death, changing your name and starting over in the Hudson Valley. We get it, it happens.
