Incidents
- On the evening of February 16, 2004, an elderly woman mistakenly drove her car onto the bridge from the Bronx side of the river and was hit by a Toronto-bound Amtrak train. Although the passenger train slammed into the automobile and carried it for a distance of 250 feet (76 m) along the tracks, the woman survived the crash.
- During the early morning hours of October 24, 2010, a fire broke out on the bridge, suspending train service until later that evening. During the bridge closure, Amtrak trains terminated at Croton-Harmon, where bus service was provided between Pennsylvania Station and passengers could transfer to the Metro-North Railroad for access to and from Grand Central Terminal.
