 That's correct! The MTA is advancing a plan to start Metro-North service between Albany-Rensselaer Station and Grand Central Terminal.

Key details include:

 * Start Date: The service is expected to launch in the Spring of 2026.

 * Frequency: It will initially be one daily round-trip.

 * Purpose: The expansion is intended to restore capacity and connectivity, partially in response to a temporary suspension of some Amtrak service due to East River Tunnel repairs.

 * Route: It will extend the Hudson Line approximately 80 miles beyond Poughkeepsie, with stops at Rhinecliff and Hudson before reaching Albany-Rensselaer.

This will mark the first time Metro-North has run service to New York's Capital Region.
