The Pelham Metro-North Railroad station serves passengers who wish to travel to or from the Town of Pelham, New York ( or the Villages of Pelham and Pelham Manor) via the New Haven Line. The station is one mile west of the point where the New Haven Line joins the Northeast Corridor and just east of the end of third rail power and start of overhead catenary power.[2]
Pelham is 15.1 miles (24.3 km) from Grand Central Terminal and the average travel time from Grand Central is 32 minutes.
Pelham Station was built in 1893 by the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad. As of August 2006, weekday commuter ridership was 2,284, and there are 356 parking spots.[3]

Platform and track configuration
This station has two high-level side platforms, each 10 cars long. The northern platform, adjacent to Track 3, is generally used by westbound or Manhattan-bound trains. The southern platform, adjacent to Track 4, is generally used by eastbound or Connecticut-bound trains.
The New Haven Line has four tracks at this location. The two inner tracks, not adjacent to either platform, are used only by express trains.
