The New Rochelle Metro-North Railroad station serves the residents of New Rochelle, New York via the New Haven Line. Amtrak's Northeast Regional also stops at the station en route to Boston and Washington, DC; this gives the station an additional base of riders from The Bronx using New Rochelle as a closer alternative to Penn Station. Also located at the station is a key stop for Bee-Line Bus System buses as well as Adirondack Trailways buses to Albany and points on Long Island.

It is 16.6 miles from Grand Central Terminal and the average travel time is 36 minutes with some peak hour runs originating/terminating at New Rochelle being up to 10 minutes shorter in duration.

As of August 2006, weekday commuter ridership was 4,020, and there were 1,381 parking spots. [1]

It is the busiest New Haven Line station in Westchester County.

George M. Cohan's song "Forty-five Minutes from Broadway" is about New Rochelle, and the average 36 minute train ride plus about a ten minute walk from Grand Central to Broadway means the station is still about forty-five minutes away.
