NFTA Metro Update

Installation of the new catenary system as part of the DL&W Station project will require a Metro Rail power shutdown this Sunday, January 9th, between the DL&W and Exchange Streets. Metro Rail will maintain service by single tracking and running a surface section rail shuttle. The Canalside Metro Rail station will be closed on Sunday, January 9th. Metro Rail’s surface section rail shuttle will stop at Seneca Street, just a short walk down Main Street.
