Preceding station   Metro-North Railroad   Following station Valhalla toward Grand Central Harlem Line Hawthorne toward Wassaic Kensico Cemetery (Closed 1984) toward Grand Central Harlem Line

The Mount Pleasant Metro-North Railroad station serves two adjacent cemeteries (Gate of Heaven and Kensico, the latter of which had its own station until the mid-1980s) and an adjacent funeral home in Hawthorne, New York via the Harlem Line. There is one train in each direction on weekdays and three trains in each direction on weekends. The station exists largely for visitors of those buried in the cemetery, in turn there is no parking available at this station and it is not intended as a commuter station.

This station is located in the Zone 5 Metro-North fare zone.

Platform and track configuration

This station has two offset high-level side platforms, each about 50 feet long. They are accessible to only one door of a train. When trains stop here, usually the first or last car receives and discharges passengers. The western platform, adjacent to Track 2, is usually used by southbound or Manhattan-bound trains. The eastern platform, adjacent to Track 1, is usually used by northbound or outbound trains. The Harlem Line has two tracks at this location.
