Because of the failure of a railroad draw bridge near South Norwalk (and we know of only one — the Walk Bridge over the Norwalk River, by the Maritime Aquarium), service has been disrupted on the New Haven Line.
While service has now resumed, there are significant delays, and there “will be no inbound (to NY) train service at South Norwalk, Rowayton, Darien and Noroton Heights Stations,” Metro-North said in an announcement “Customers using those stations should go to Stamford for train service to Grand Central.”
Here’s the announcement Metro-North posted Saturday afternoon:
Train service to New Haven has resumed with significant delays due to single tracking and train congestion as a result of the failure of a draw bridge in the vicinity of South Norwalk to close properly. Currently there is only one track available for service over the draw bridge.
Limited service from New Haven to New York/Grand Central Terminal has also resumed with significant delays due to single tracking over the draw bridge.
There will be no inbound (to NY) train service at South Norwalk, Rowayton, Darien and Noroton Heights Stations. Customers using those stations should go to Stamford for train service to Grand Central.
There is no Danbury Branch service at this time due to overhead wire damage. Customers are strongly encouraged to seek alternate transportation at this time.
