Trains leave for New York City every two hours, and about every 30 minutes during rush hour. It is 69 miles (111 km) from Grand Central Terminal and travel time to Grand Central is approximately one hour, 55 minutes.

This station is the southernmost station in the Zone 9 Metro-North fare zone.

The 7.5 miles (12.1 km) distance from Harlem Valley–Wingdale to Dover Plains, the next station to the north, is the longest between two stations on the Harlem Line.
