So, I've been taking a lot of trains this summer and going to some truly cool places, but as usual, Mother Nature had a little something of her own brewing. Over the last 48 hours, Connecticut and other areas of the northeast have had way too much rain. That being said, there's been some changes temporarily on the trains.
Sadly with numbers topping 12 inches of rain in some areas, there have been a couple issues. There have been some roads washed away, some mudslides, and general flash flooding. The Metro North folks weren't specific, but the Danbury Line is currently suspended due to floods. The Waterbury Line had a mudslide in the Seymour area and is also suspended. Neither line has an update at this time and there so far is no substitute service.
Reportedly, the other lines are running on or near on time. There will be updates as soon as possible. Be patient. This doesn't happen often as the New England weather is honestly far more stoic on a regular basis than other parts of the country. The weather is calling for more rain throughout the day today, 8/19/24, so we have yet to see what happens.
Metro North is posting updates as they have them.
