The creation of MTA Metro-North Railroad in 1983 ushered in a new era in commuter travel. Over the past 25 years, Metro-North has revitalized the New Haven, Harlem and Hudson commuter lines by updating rolling stock, renovating historic stations and lines, and building new facilities. And yearly ridership has nearly doubled during that time from 48 million 25 years ago to 80 million annual riders in 2007. Metro-North has a history that it can be proud of and to celebrate its 25th year in operation, the New York Transit Museum Gallery Annex is presenting A Railroad Reborn: Metro-North at 25, on exhibition from February 12, 2008 through July 6, 2008. Through images and artifacts from the Museum’s collection and on loan from the railroad, "A Railroad Reborn" presents a comprehensive retrospective of how far the railroad has come.
