19 Additional Trains Supplement Already Robust Service to Yankee Stadium
MTA Metro-North Railroad today announced additional service to take fans to Yankee Stadium for the “Shamrock Series” game between Notre Dame and Army at 7:00 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 23. The game is also the 100th Anniversary of the famous “Four Horseman” Notre Dame backfield.
The railroad is operating additional service to and from the Stadium on all three lines to help fans avoid the aggravation and stress of weekend highway travel, expensive tolls, and stadium parking.
“Yankee Stadium is the most famous sports venue in the world, and Metro-North Railroad is excited to bring thousands of College Football fans to the Shamrock Series,” said Metro-North Railroad President Catherine Rinaldi. “With extra traffic on the roads this holiday season, Metro-North is the fastest, cheapest, and greenest way for Hudson Valley, Connecticut, and Long Island fans to get to the game.”
On the Hudson Line, nine trains from Poughkeepsie and Croton-Harmon will make special stops at Yankees-E. 153rd Street, across the street from the stadium. There will also be two extra trains; one departs Poughkeepsie at 4:43 p.m., making stops at New Hamburg, Beacon, Cold Spring, Garrison, and Peekskill before operating express to the stadium, arriving at Yankees-E. 153rd Street at 6:16 p.m. The second extra train departs Croton-Harmon at 5:32 p.m., making a stop at Tarrytown and operating express to the stadium, arriving at 6:07 p.m.
After the game, seven Hudson Line trains to Croton-Harmon and Poughkeepsie will make extra stops at the stadium to take fans home, and there will be an extra Poughkeepsie express train and an extra Croton-Harmon local train to transport fans home safely and comfortably.

Post game, there will be an extra direct train from the stadium making all stops between Mount Vernon West and Southeast. Harlem Line passengers can also ride any regularly scheduled Harlem Line train to Harlem-125th Street station and transfer to a frequent shuttle train for the short 5-minute ride to the stadium.
On the New Haven Line, there will be two direct trains to the game from New Haven and Stamford. One departs New Haven at 4:10 p.m., making all stops to Stamford and arriving at the stadium at 6:05 p.m. The second direct train departs Stamford at 4:43 p.m., making all stops to Mount Vernon East and arriving at the stadium at 5:42 p.m.
After the game, there will be three direct trains on the New Haven Line, with one train operating express to Stamford and then making all stops to New Haven, with another train making all local stops to Stamford, and the third train making all stops between Mount Vernon East and New Haven. New Haven Line passengers can also ride any regularly scheduled New Haven Line train to Harlem-125th Street station and transfer to a frequent shuttle train for the short 5-minute ride to the stadium.
Shuttle and regularly scheduled trains will also operate between Grand Central Terminal, Harlem-125th Street, and Yankees-E. 153rd Street which connect with regularly scheduled Harlem and New Haven Line trains and also provide service for passengers connecting at Grand Central from Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) trains via Grand Central Madison.
