Amtrak to begin tie replacement on the Northeast Corridor

Due to concrete ties that need replacement, Amtrak will begin a long term trackwork project to replace them.  This project will begin on May 11, 2008, and will take out one track on the Corridor at a time.

New Jersey Transit's Northeast Corridor line is directly affected by this project.  There will be boarding and schedule changes (including delays) for passengers of Trenton, Hamilton and Princeton Junction Stations.  NJT plans to issue a new Northeast Corridor schedule every 8 to 10 weeks to reflect the location of the tie replacement and to minimize delays.  There is no information on how the tie replacement may affect SEPTA service on the R7.
