At approximately 9:45 a.m. today, a mudslide obstructed all four Metro-North Railroad tracks near Scarborough station in the village of Briarcliff Manor. As a result, there is no Metro-North service between Tarrytown and Croton-Harmon stations. 

There is limited hourly service between Grand Central Terminal and Tarrytown, and limited hourly service between Croton-Harmon and Poughkeepsie. In addition, very limited bus service is replacing trains between Tarrytown and Croton-Harmon for impacted customers, and that substitute transportation plan is expected to last at least through the weekend. There is no train or bus service at the Philipse Manor, Scarborough, and Ossining stations, and customers at those stations are encouraged to visit the Tarrytown station for rail service to Grand Central Terminal, or the Croton-Harmon station for rail service to Poughkeepsie.

Customers are recommended to consider using Harlem Line service whenever possible during this disruption. The Harlem Line is unaffected and is running normal service.

Metro-North crews are on scene, assessing damage and stability on the right-of-way in that area. They are working closely with local authorities to ensure the safety of responding employees. We will provide updates and additional service guidance as they become available throughout the weekend. 

In the meantime, customers are encouraged to check for updated train schedules in the TrainTime app, on the MTA website, and on MTA social media platforms.
