NEW YORK — Buses will substitute for commuter trains on the Metro-North Port Jervis line beginning Sunday, Sept. 11, at 4 a.m., allowing trackwork including replacement of 10,000 crossties and three switches, as well as track welding work. The bus substitutions will continue for more than two months, through Nov. 13.
Buses will operate to Suffern, where NJ Transit trains will operate normally to Hoboken. The buses operate on weekdays from approximately 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and on weekends beginning at 12:30 a.m. on Saturdays until 12:30 a.m. on Mondays. More information is available here.
The replacement ties should last for 30 years, the MTA says.
