Susan G. Metzger, Chair of the Metro-North Committee Hon. Mitchell H. Pally, Chair of the Long Island Rail Road Committee Hon. Randy Glucksman Hon. John J. Molloy Hon. Andrew Saul Hon. Veronica Vanterpool Hon. James E. Vitiello Not Present: Hon. Norman Brown Hon. Charles G. Moerdler Hon. Carl V. Wortendyke Hon. Neal J. Zuckerman Also Present: Susan J. Doering – Executive Vice President, Metro-North Railroad Richard L. Gans – Vice President and General Counsel Glen Hayden – Vice President, Engineering Yvonne Hill-Donald - Vice President, Human Resources John Kesich – Senior Vice President, Operations Owen Monaghan, Chief, MTA Police Department Michael Shiffer – Vice President, Planning Justin Vonashek – Vice President, System Safety Steven Weiss – Executive Director Management and Budget Chair Metzger called the meeting to order. She noted that Executive Vice President Doering would be representing President Rinaldi at the meeting. PUBLIC COMMENT Orrin Getz, Vice Chairman Metro-North Railroad Commuter Council, commended Metro- North for their efforts to restore service following the May 15, 2018 storm, especially east of Hudson where the storm effects were more severe. Mr. Getz stated that work needs to be done to address problems that exist with west of Hudson service. He stated that New Jersey Transit has been cancelling trains on the Pascack Valley Line whenever a problem arises. He noted that New Jersey Transit would be cancelling express trains 1618 and 1739 from June 3, 2018 into January 2019 to install Positive Train Control (“PTC”) equipment. He stated that New Jersey Transit is lagging in the installation of PTC and Amtrak will not permit New Jersey Transit to operate trains on Amtrak tracks into Penn Station if New Jersey Transit is not PTC compliant. Mr. ________________________________________________________________________________ Master Page # 5 of 225 - Joint Metro-North Railroad and Long Island Railroad Committees Meeting 6/18/2018 Getz stated that the cancellation of Pascack Valley Line express trains has angered many local officials, including Congresswoman Nita Lowey and Rockland County Executive Ed Day. He stated that, while Metro-North and New Jersey Transit have available control cars, there is a shortage of these cars since many need repair. He stated that Metro-North and New Jersey Transit should try to fix some of the cars so that the express trains do not need to be cancelled. Murray Bodin commented on the blowing of train horns at Harlem 125th Street. He expressed his opinion that the red box painted on the roadway at the Roaring Brook Road crossing is illegal. He stated that Metro-North should not be using and purchasing railcars in married pairs. Mr. Bodin stated that Committee members are not paying attention to these issues. Additional details of the comments made by the public speakers are contained in the video recording of the meeting produced by the MTA and maintained in the MTA records. APPROVAL OF MINUTES AND METRO-NORTH 2018 WORK PLAN Upon motion duly made and seconded, the Committee approved the minutes of the April 23, 2018 Metro-North Committee meeting. There are no changes to the 2018 Metro-North Railroad Committee Work Plan, a copy of which is filed with the records of this meeting. PRESIDENT’S REPORT Executive Vice President Doering, on behalf of President Rinaldi, gave the President’s Report. Executive Vice President Doering reported on service reliability during the month of April 2018 noting that east of Hudson on-time performance improved 3.4% from March 2018 and trains operated above goal at 94.7% across all three lines during all service periods. She further reported that performance in the month of May 2018 was below goal primarily due to the impact of the major storm that occurred on Tuesday, May 15, 2018. Executive Vice President Doering provided a report on the May 15, 2018 storm and Metro- North’s response. She reported that, with the threat of high winds and rain during the evening rush hour, the railroad preemptively placed crews equipped with chain saws and bucket trucks on standby to respond once the storm passed through the area. The storm first hit the upper Hudson Line taking down multiple trees. As a result, Metro-North was required to suspend service north of Croton-Harmon at approximately 4:30 p.m. Service on the Harlem and New Haven Lines was also impacted by numerous fallen trees and the loss of power between Chappaqua and Brewster. At approximately 5 p.m., service was suspended on all three lines and trains were instructed to safely proceed to the nearest station. Due to safety concerns, Metro-North briefly closed Grand Central Terminal to prevent overcrowding conditions. Customers were only allowed to exit the terminal and were urged to avoid coming to Grand Central Terminal until service resumed. The worst of the storm had passed at approximately 6 p.m. At that time, since there was minimal impact on the New Haven Line, the railroad resumed service on that line. Service was then resumed on the Hudson Line between Grand Central Terminal and Croton-Harmon. Later in the evening, the railroad provided limited service to Peekskill. Shortly after resuming Hudson Line service, Metro-North resumed service on the Harlem Line between Grand Central Terminal and North White Plains and provided limited service to Mount Kisco. However, beyond Mount Kisco, the line remained out of service due to multiple fallen trees and third rail damage. Later in the evening, the railroad began a shuttle bus operation from Mount Kisco to Southeast. As crews continued to clear trees from the right-of-way and make repairs to the third rail, a service plan for the following morning was developed. Late Tuesday night, customers were informed that Metro- North expected to operate regular train service on the New Haven Line, regular service between Croton-Harmon and Grand Central Terminal on the Hudson Line and regular service between ________________________________________________________________________________ Master Page # 6 of 225 - Joint Metro-North Railroad and Long Island Railroad Committees Meeting 6/18/2018 North White Plains and Grand Central Terminal on the Harlem Line. Limited Service was anticipated between Poughkeepsie and Croton Harmon on the Hudson Line and limited service was anticipated between Southeast and North White Plains on the Harlem Line. Service would remain suspended between Wassaic and Southeast. The initial plan called for canceling three upper Hudson Line trains and 10 upper Harlem Line trains. Customers were told to expect delays and crowded conditions. Metro-North crews worked through the night clearing trees so that Metro-North could provide regular service on the Hudson Line to Poughkeepsie and operate the three upper Hudson Line trains. By mid-day Wednesday, May 16, 2018, crews had completed clearing the tracks between Wassaic and Southeast, making it possible to resume service to Wassaic before the evening rush hour. In sum, the severe spring storm created havoc on the railroad, taking down roughly 170 trees along the tracks and bringing service to a temporary standstill. Because of our colleagues’ dedication, teamwork, and quick action, the railroad could get its customers through this difficult situation and get them to their destinations safely.

  • Transportation Trips, Excursions, Special Journeys, Outings, Tours, and Milestones In, To, from Or Through New Jersey
    TRANSPORTATION TRIPS, EXCURSIONS, SPECIAL JOURNEYS, OUTINGS, TOURS, AND MILESTONES IN, TO, FROM OR THROUGH NEW JERSEY Bill McKelvey, Editor, Updated to Mon., Mar. 8, 2021 INTRODUCTION This is a reference work which we hope will be useful to historians and researchers. For those researchers wanting to do a deeper dive into the history of a particular event or series of events, copious resources are given for most of the fantrips, excursions, special moves, etc. in this compilation. You may find it much easier to search for the RR, event, city, etc. you are interested in than to read the entire document. We also think it will provide interesting, educational, and sometimes entertaining reading. Perhaps it will give ideas to future fantrip or excursion leaders for trips which may still be possible. In any such work like this there is always the question of what to include or exclude or where to draw the line. Our first thought was to limit this work to railfan excursions, but that soon got broadened to include rail specials for the general public and officials, special moves, trolley trips, bus outings, waterway and canal journeys, etc. The focus has been on such trips which operated within NJ; from NJ; into NJ from other states; or, passed through NJ. We have excluded regularly scheduled tourist type rides, automobile journeys, air trips, amusement park rides, etc. NOTE: Since many of the following items were taken from promotional literature we can not guarantee that each and every trip was actually operated. Early on the railways explored and promoted special journeys for the public as a way to improve their bottom line.
