The Garrison Metro-North Railroad station serves residents of Garrison, New York via the Hudson Line. Trains leave for New York City every hour on weekdays and about every 25 minutes during rush hour. It is 49.9 miles (80 km) from Grand Central Terminal and travel time to Grand Central is approximately one hour, 17 minutes.
It is known for its sweeping views of West Point across the river.
This station has two high-level side platforms each six cars long. The western platform, adjacent to Track 2, is generally used by southbound or inbound or Manhattan-bound trains. The eastern platform, adjacent to Track 1, is generally used by northbound or outbound trains.
The Hudson Line has two tracks at this location. The Garrison Landing Historic District is immediately to the northwest of the station.
The original Garrison Depot building (Still standing just north of the current Metro-North station), the surrounding buildings, the overpass, and the tunnel just north of the depot were prominently seen in 1969's "Hello, Dolly!" during the "Put On Your Sunday Clothes" number. The building was given some retro facade work and was "dressed up" as Yonkers, New York.
