A decades-long modernization project at MTA Metro-North Railroad’s maintenance and operations hub in Croton-on-Hudson, New York, recently reached an end.
On Friday, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, other state and local dignitaries, and officials from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) hailed the completion of the project, which had been underway at Croton Harmon Yard since 2001.
The opening of the new 400,000-square-foot facility — now known as the Harmon Shop — will enable Metro-North to maintain train reliability and meet its maintenance needs for decades to come, Hochul said in a press release.
