Metro-North Railroad service on the Harlem Line is resuming following the fiery collision that killed six people.

Passengers are advised to expect delays as trains will have to slow down through the crash site area.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo says the Metropolitan Transportation Authority worked non-stop to rebuild the damaged section of track.

He said the NTSB gave Metro-North permission to clear the wreckage Wednesday afternoon.

Workers had to rebuild about 500 feet of electrified third rail, inspect the running rail and test signals damaged in the crash.

Commerce Street will remain closed to vehicular traffic until the NTSB completes its investigation sometime Thursday.
