Train service on the Metro-North New Canaan Branch Line will resume on Saturday, September 2 with the 6:28 a.m. train. Over the last several months, a track improvement project was underway along the line. Now that the project is complete, an existing speed restriction in the Stamford area has been eliminated, allowing trains to travel 20 miles per hour faster through this section.

In advance of train service resuming, test trains will be operating along the New Canaan Branch Line between Stamford and New Canaan in both directions to test and inspect the railroad crossings and tracks.
