NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WFSB) – People who love to take in New York’s fall foliage can simply hop on a train starting this weekend.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority announced on Thursday that Metro-North’s popular leaf peeper trains return Oct. 3 and run through Nov. 8.
The MTA said six additional weekend trains will serve the Hudson Valley.
Three morning trains will travel north toward Beacon and Poughkeepsie. Three afternoon trains will return to Grand Central Terminal.
The MTA said new Metro-North schedules take effect Sunday, Oct. 4, adding five regularly scheduled weekday trains across the Hudson, Harlem, and New Haven lines.
Adjustments to some existing departure times and stops will accommodate Metro-North’s growing ridership more comfortably and effectively.
The MTA said customers should check their trips in the TrainTime app or at mta.info before traveling.
