"The tracks and switches in and around the Grand Central Terminal complex are at the heart of the Metro-North system," Rinaldi said, adding, "It is vital that we keep those tracks in a state of good repair to ensure that our Hudson, Harlem and New Haven customers can continue to enjoy safe and reliable service into Grand Central Terminal.”
