The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) has just committed $100 million to build two new 1-mile-long tracks on the Port Jervis Line, according to local elected leaders at an Aug. 23 press conference.

The new tracks, technically referred to as passing sidings, will allow for two-way train traffic on the metro line and boost train services to residents living in Orange and Rockland counties.
