Rail & Transit Engineering

This Penn Station Access (PSA) was an MTA Project that created a new link for MTA Metro-North Railroad New Haven Line trains to operate directly into Penn Station, New York. As part of this Project, four (4) new passenger stations were built along Amtrak’s Hell Gate Line in the Bronx – near Co-op City, Morris Park, Parkchester / Van Nest, and Hunts Point. In addition to the new passenger stations, this Project included adding new interlockings and tracks; realigning some existing tracks and curves; upgrading power and signal systems; and replacing and upgrading existing railroad bridges as necessary.

- The Operation Simulations were one of the main elements of the simulations effort to help the decision-making process regarding the PSA operations that run the PSA service and LIRR East Side Access service to Grand Central Terminal.
- The Power Simulations that reviewed the existing power system on both the Hell Gate Line and New Haven Line to determine the traction power needed to support these new services for 2025.
- The Operations Simulations and Power Simulations were performed under this procurement to ensure an easier flow of information between them.
- Garg provided technical staff to assist in performing Rail Operations Simulations and Traction Power Simulations described in various tasks in the Contract scope of work.
