[edit] History
Bronxville Station was originally built in 1916 by the New York Central Railroad.[1] As with the rest of the Harlem Line, the merger of New York Central with Pennsylvania Railroad in 1968 transformed it into a Penn Central station, who's service was gradually merged with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and officially became part of Metro-North in 1983. In the Spring of 1989, the platforms were reconstructed, along with those of Fleetwood, Tuckahoe, and Crestwood stations.[2] As of August 2006, daily commuter ridership was 3,109 and there are 331 parking spots.[3]
[edit] Platform and track configuration
This station has two high-level side platforms, each 12 cars long. The western platform, adjacent to Track 4, is generally used by southbound or Manhattan-bound trains. The eastern platform, adjacent to Track 1, is generally used by northbound or outbound trains.
The Harlem Line has three tracks at this location. The middle track, not adjacent to either platform, is used only by express trains.
