Dangerous New Castle Metro-North crossing to get new $107M overpass

A dangerous Metro-North Railroad crossing along the Saw Mill River Parkway in New Castle will be replaced with a $107 million overpass. The Roaring Brook Road crossing is among 91 projects across 37 states that will split $1.24 billion in funding earmarked for rail crossing safety upgrades, the Federal Railroad Administration announced Friday, Oct. 30. It’s the largest of the grants, surpassing the $90 million California received to eliminate a crossing in Burlingame. The New York State Department of Transportation will pick up 20% of the cost to design and build the overpass. The Harlem Line crossing has been the scene of dozens of accidents. Some 9,000 vehicles and over 100 passenger trains pass through every day. What to know about Roaring Brook Road crossing funds “Protecting the traveling public and enhancing the backbone of our nation’s transportation system — our rail network — is all part of the Trump administration's commitment to move people and products better than ever,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy. New York’s U.S. senators, Democrats Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, have advocated for the changes. Schumer appeared in Garrison four years ago to highlight the need for rail crossing eliminations in New Castle

In 1930, these iconic subway cars were built to transport New Yorkers across the five boroughs; 96 years later, New Yorkers can hop aboard the beloved vintage trains and head on a magically nostalgic journey through NYC

Halloween is officially in the rearview mirror , which means our favorite city is now ready to shift into full festive mode! And New York has its own time-honored December magic: rolling back the clock nearly a century aboard the city’s beloved vintage subway cars. Whether you want to channel your inner 1930s commuter or take in the subway’s mid-century aesthetic, here is everything you need to know about stepping aboard NYC’s most iconic tracks this season. The Ultimate NYC Winter Tradition: Holiday Nostalgia Rides Every December , the New York Transit Museum pulls its legendary vintage fleet out of the yard and places it right back onto regular subway tracks for its annual Holiday Nostalgia Rides. Stepping into these carriages is a cinematic experience: Vintage interiors: Rattan woven seats, ceiling ceiling fans, incandescent light bulbs, and genuine leather hanging straps. Period adverts: Authentic, retro posters lining the walls advertising long-forgotten department stores, shoe polishes, and 1930s Broadway shows. Period-dress straphangers: Riders often lean into the charm, dressing up in sharp fedoras, cloche hats, zoot suits, and flapper coats, accompanied by impromptu swing dancing on the platform. Best of all, these holiday rides are famously accessible—operating at normal subway fares
