NEW YORK — Amtrak will resume infrastructure work at New York’s Penn Station on Jan. 3, leading to some modifications of Long Island Rail Road schedules.
Unlike previous phases of the Infrastructure Renewal Program, the work on tracks 11 and 14 will not require any service changes for Amtrak or NJ Transit trains. The $7.6 million project is scheduled to be completed by April 17, 2020.
The Long Island Rail Road changes, beginning Jan. 6 and detailed here, will see five of 144 morning-rush trains rerouted, along with six of 130 evening-rush trains. Five trains are being added immediately before or after the rush trains, and other trains are being lengthened, so that the net loss of seating capacity is less than 1%.
Updated Long Island Rail Road schedules for Jan. 6-March 8 will be available here as soon as they become available.
