The Hudson line experienced delays up to 45 minutes in both directions, and there was no northbound service out of Greystone or Glenwood.
Hudson Line: Substitute busing will be provided between Yonkers and Greystone for N/B trains until further notice, due to an earlier structure fire near Greystone. N/B and S/B customers should expect 30 to 40-minute delays. Please listen for announcements at your station. https://t.co/nE9JlaGb3S
