The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is changing some train schedules over the next two weeks to work on safety upgrades.

Several changes will affect trains going in and out of New York City. This will mostly affect riders on PATH trains which normally stop in Hoboken, N.J.

It's part of Positive Train Control upgrades following the crash in Hoboken last year.
