  • New Haven Line Power Improvement Program (Amtrak and Metro-North)

  • This forum will be for issues that don't belong specifically to one NYC area transit agency, but several. For instance, intra-MTA proposals or MTA-wide issues, which may involve both Metro-North Railroad (MNRR) and the Long Island Railroad (LIRR). Other intra-agency examples: through running such as the now discontinued MNRR-NJT Meadowlands special. Topics which only concern one operating agency should remain in their respective forums.

New Haven Line Power Improvement Program (Amtrak and Metro-North)

  by Jeff Smith
 
Substation Replacement: FRA.DOT.GOV
Connecticut – New Haven Line Power Improvement Program (Up to $122,800,000)

The proposed project includes final design and construction to replace seven substations and associated power equipment along the New Haven Line in Connecticut, from the New York border to New Haven, CT. The existing substations are not in a state of good repair and pose a significant risk of disruptions to intercity and commuter services on the New Haven Line. The project will enhance reliability of Amtrak's intercity services and Metro-North commuter services. As matching funds, Connecticut will provide $20,876,000 and Amtrak will provide $9,824,000.
