TRANSIT SERVICE UPDATE — ACTIVE

Port Jervis train 44 is canceled. Use train 46 at Sloatsburg or Suffern.

NJ Transit canceled the 4:29 a.m. Port Jervis departure because of crew availability and directs riders to the 4:59 a.m. train 46. Under the temporary timetable, that replacement reaches Rockland about 30 minutes later.

The Rockland Edit service card stating that Port Jervis train 44 is canceled and listing replacement train 46 at 6:20 a.m. in Sloatsburg and 6:28 a.m. in Suffern
Original service card by The Rockland Edit, based on NJ Transit's live notice and temporary weekday timetable. It is information design—not an agency notice, train photograph or guarantee of an on-time replacement.

What Rockland riders should do

  • Sloatsburg: Train 44 was scheduled at 5:49 a.m. Use train 46, scheduled at 6:20 a.m.
  • Suffern: Train 44 was scheduled at 5:58 a.m. Use train 46, scheduled at 6:28 a.m.
  • Hoboken: Train 46 is scheduled to arrive at 7:13 a.m., compared with train 44's scheduled 6:45 a.m. arrival.
  • Before boarding: Check NJ Transit's live status and DepartureVision; the printed times do not guarantee the replacement train's actual operation or arrival.

What NJ Transit confirmed

NJ Transit's live Main/Bergen–Port Jervis notice says train 44—the 4:29 a.m. departure from Port Jervis scheduled into Hoboken at 6:45 a.m.—was canceled because of crew availability at the time of departure. The agency tells customers to take train 46, the 4:59 a.m. Port Jervis departure scheduled into Hoboken at 7:13 a.m.

What the temporary timetable shows in Rockland

The weekday table effective October 11 through November 14 lists train 44 at Sloatsburg at 5:49 a.m. and Suffern at 5:58 a.m. It lists train 46 at 6:20 a.m. and 6:28 a.m. respectively. That is a scheduled 31-minute shift at Sloatsburg, 30 minutes at Suffern and 28 minutes on the Hoboken arrival.

What is not confirmed

The notice does not report a systemwide suspension, a substitute bus for this canceled train or a protected connection. It does not promise that train 46 will operate exactly on the printed schedule. The separate temporary Portal cutover and Port Jervis construction schedules remain in effect.

What changes for a resident: anyone planning to board train 44 at Sloatsburg or Suffern should use train 46 instead and plan for a scheduled Hoboken arrival 28 minutes later, while checking live status before leaving.
