Metro-North to boost train runs from Connecticut to NYC
Hartford (AP) — Metro-North Railroad says more trains will be running on the New Haven Line.
Nearly a week after a circuit failed in a New York City suburb, the commuter rail line said the New Haven line has gotten a power boost from Con Edison's temporary substation in Harrison, N.Y.
Metro North says trains will be operating at about 65 percent capacity beginning Wednesday. That's up from 50 percent since the disruption began.
