Metro-North news release 11/13/17:

 
Danbury Branch Dockyard Project Work Underway from Friday Evening, November 17, Through Sunday, November 19
 
Buses to Substitute for Weekend Trains to Accommodate Branch Improvements
 

 

Metro-North Railroad advises customers that from Friday evening, November 17, through Sunday, November 19, Connecticut Department of Transportation crews will be working on the Danbury Branch Dockyard project, which will improve operations along the New Haven Line.

 

The Danbury Branch Dockyard Project, which will electrify the southern portion of the Danbury Branch, supports operations on the New Haven Line by providing a midline yard location where trains can layover, ensuring more reliable service. In addition to electrification, the work also includes the addition of two new track sidings, track replacement, signal work, new catenary systems and structures.

 

Metro-North crews will take advantage of the outage to weld track and cut brush along the branch.
