This station has one six-car-long high-level island platform serving trains in both directions. The Harlem Line has two tracks at this location.
Prior to Metro-North Railroad's electrification of this section of the Harlem Line in 1984, service at the station had been greatly reduced compared to other similar stations. In the late 1970s, weekday service was about half that of most other stations north of North White Plains, and weekend service was limited to a flag stop for six trains.[1] By 1990, service had been restored to fourteen trains a day on weekends, the equivalent of that at other similar stations.
