The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) today announced it will add service on its popular Metro-North fall foliage trains the weekends of Oct. 25-26 and Nov. 1-2.
These round-trip trains will run Saturday, Oct. 25 and Nov. 1 and Sunday, Oct. 26 and Nov. 2 with one extra train heading northbound in the morning and another heading southbound in the evening.
The additional morning train will depart Grand Central Terminal at 11:31 a.m., making stops at Harlem-125 Street, Peekskill, Manitou, Garrison and Cold Spring before arriving at Beacon at 1:10 p.m. The extra Manhattan-bound train will depart Beacon at 6:54 p.m. and pick up riders at Cold Spring, Garrison, Manitou, Peekskill, and Harlem-125 Street, arriving in Grand Central at 8:30 p.m.
With the additional service, there will be a total of nine northbound fall foliage trains operating between 6:45 a.m. and noon. There will be 10 southbound trains departing from the Upper Hudson Valley to Grand Central Terminal between 2:00 p.m. and 7:15 p.m.
The MTA recently announced changes to Metro-North's "Family Fares" program, which now allows up to five children under 18 to ride for $1 with a fare-paying adult, including peak hours and weekends, making a trip to the Hudson Valley a fun, safe, and affordable adventure for the whole family to enjoy.
Train times and fares for the weekend fall foliage trains, as well as all Metro-North services, is available on the MTA TrainTime app, on the MTA's website and by dialing 511 (from Connecticut, dial 877-690-5116).
