About us
Founded in 1983 when the MTA assumed control of Conrail commuter operations in the states of New York and Connecticut, Metro-North Railroad’s roots can be traced back to the New York & Harlem Railroad, which began in 1832 as a horse-car line in lower Manhattan. Today, with 384 route miles and 775 miles of track, Metro-North’s territory covers seven counties in New York State--Dutchess, Putnam, Westchester, Bronx, New York (Manhattan), Rockland, and Orange-and two counties in the state of Connecticut--New Haven and Fairfield. Three main lines east of the Hudson River--the Hudson, the Harlem, and the New Haven -- operate out of Grand Central Terminal in New York City. Two lines west of the Hudson River--the Port Jervis and the Pascack Valley--operate out of New Jersey Transit's terminal in Hoboken, N.J., and connect with service out of Penn Station, NY via the Secaucus Transfer. The Hudson Line extends 74 miles from Grand Central Terminal to Poughkeepsie; the Harlem, 82 miles to Wassaic; and the New Haven, which also has three branch lines--the New Canaan, Danbury, and Waterbury--72 miles to New Haven. The Port Jervis Line runs 95 miles from Hoboken to Port Jervis, with 30 of those miles in New Jersey; the Pascack Valley Line extends 31 miles from Hoboken to Spring Valley, 25 of those miles being in New Jersey. Total square mileage of the service territory is approximately 2,701 miles. The railroad also manages the Hudson Rail Link feeder bus service in the Bronx, and The Haverstraw-Ossining and Newburgh-Beacon ferries, all of which connect with the Hudson Line.

Today, we hosted our Staycation Showcase, bringing together vendors and organizations from across the region to highlight some of the best car-free getaways you can enjoy this season. From scenic Hudson Valley destinations to Connecticut attractions, summer festivals, and more, the event offered plenty of inspiration for day trips, weekend escapes, and easy adventures you can reach by train. It was a celebration of the connections that make our region so special — linking communities, supporting local destinations, and helping people discover all that the Metro-North service area has to offer. Guests also got an up-close look at Locomotive 250, our brand-new heritage engine celebrating America’s 250th anniversary, along with a special visit from George and Martha Washington!

The Waterbury Branch Line is getting some HUGE upgrades at the Derby-Shelton, Ansonia, Beacon Falls, and Seymour stations! We're thrilled to announce a brand new indoor waiting area at the Derby-Shelton Station, as well as ADA-compliant heated deck panels, canopies, and much more at each station. The Waterbury Branch is an important part of our state's infrastructure and these upgrades will bring increased comfort and safety to riders. Thank you to our federal and state partners for making this project a reality! #CTDOT #Train #TrainStation
