The station has two high-level side platforms each eight cars long. The west platform next to Track 4 is generally used by southbound or Manhattan-bound trains. The east platform next to Track 3 is generally used by northbound or outbound trains.
The Hudson Line has four tracks; the two inner tracks not next to either platform are used by express trains.
Between the Glenwood station and the Hudson River lies the abandoned Yonkers Power Station of the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad, a massive building which was constructed between 1904 and 1906 to hold electrical generators to provide power for the electrfication of the railroad.
Although there were plans to adapt the building for residential use, these have not come to fruition, and in 2008 the Preservation League of New York State named the plant as one of the seven most endangered sites in the state.[2]
