METRO NORTH CITY ZONE TERMINALS

About a month and a half ago, there was a problem getting MetroNorth into and out of Grand Central, so the MTA decided to terminate the New Haven line in The Bronx, and riders were asked to hike uphill to the #2 train.
That's whack. Doesn't Metro North have the ability to turn back trains at Harlem-125 Street??

Maybe because there were other trains stalled ahead of that particular one, was easier to transfer people to the subway, presumably at Woodlawn based on what was written here.

125 th street just does not have facilities with only 4 tracks to terminate trains.

It would also block Hudson line trains terminating anything there.

Hudson line trains have same rights and would have been terminated at yankee stadium and not at 125th street.
