The move was laid out in a letter to MTA Chair Janno Lieber from Federal Railroad Administration chief counsel Kyle Fields, who said the work will instead be overseen by Amtrak, which owns Penn Station. “There is no reason to delegate leadership of this important project,” U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy wrote in a statement.

The helicopter that crashed into the Hudson River on Thursday killing all six people on board lacked any flight recording devices and hadn’t received a "major inspection" since March 1, according to an update published by the National Transportation Safety Board Saturday night. The lack of recording devices, also known as “black boxes,” in the helicopter limits the “information that could be used for the investigation” into the crash, the NTSB report said.
