The Yonkers Metro-North Railroad station serves the downtown area of Yonkers, New York via the Hudson Line. It is one of four express stations on that line south of Croton–Harmon. Trains leave for New York City every 25 to 35 minutes on weekdays. It is 14.4 miles from Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan and travel time to Grand Central is about 33 minutes. Some Amtrak trains also stop here.
The station is two blocks west of Getty Square in downtown Yonkers, across the street from the historic Yonkers Post Office.
The station was built in 1911 in the Beaux-Arts style. The architects were Warren and Wetmore, one of the firms responsible for Grand Central Terminal. In 2004, Metro-North completed a $43 million restoration of the Yonkers station.
As of August 2006, daily commuter ridership was 922 and there are 783 parking spaces.[2]
The ticket office at this station was closed July 7, 2010 and tickets must be purchased from vending machines adjacent to the platforms.[3]
The station has two high-level island platforms each 10 cars long. The west platform next to Tracks 2 and 4 is generally used by southbound trains headed toward Grand Central Terminal (Metro-North trains) or Pennsylvania Station (Amtrak trains). The east platform next to Tracks 1 and 3 is generally used by northbound trains.
The Hudson Line has four tracks here.
