Amtrak has started a next series of track renewal projects in New York Penn Station, as part of the Infrastructure Renewal program. The project is occurring in the area of Track 15 and Track 18.
Work on Track 15 requires a section of concrete demolition and replacement (similar to the work on Track 10 during the summer of 2017), while work on Track 18 requires localized concrete demolition with complex steel hardware replacement and rail renewal. In addition, Amtrak is renewing and replacing three turnouts in “C” Interlocking, which directs Amtrak and Long Island Rail Road trains to routes heading east and to Sunnyside Yard.
The project is expected to conclude on 28 May 2018. During the summer of 2017, Amtrak accelerated its Infrastructure Renewal program at New York Penn Station, which is one element of Amtrak’s plan to modernize stations, infrastructure, and equipment on the Northeast Corridor.
