The Bronxville Metro-North Railroad station serves the residents of the village of Bronxville, New York via the Harlem Line. It is 15.3 miles (24.6 km) from Grand Central Terminal. This station is located in the Zone 3 Metro-North fare zone.
History
The New York and Harlem Railroad laid tracks through Bronxville during the mid-1840s, and evidence of a station in Bronxville can be found at least as far back as 1858.[1] The current Bronxville Station was built in 1916 by the New York Central Railroad,[2] in the Spanish-Mission revival architecture designed to match that of the nearby Gramatan Hotel. 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, and then its 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.[3] As of August 2006, daily commuter ridership was 3,109 and there are 331 parking spots.[4]

This station has two high-level side platforms, each 12 cars long. The western platform, adjacent to Track 4, is generally used by southbound trains to either Grand Central or, on days of Yankee home games, direct service to the Yankees-E. 153 Street station. The eastern platform, adjacent to Track 1, is generally used by northbound trains.
The Harlem Line has three tracks at this location. The middle track, not adjacent to either platform, is used only by express trains.
