History
The
Until April 1963, the station was known as simply Harmon.[5] Trains continuing north of Harmon, including the flagship 20th Century Limited, would exchange their electric locomotive for a steam or diesel locomotive to continue the journey to points north and west.
As of August 2006, daily commuter ridership was 3368 and there are 1903 parking spots.
The Berkshire Flyer began running on July 8, 2022, providing direct service to Pittsfield on summer weekends.[7]
Station layout
The Village of Croton-on-Hudson operates the station parking lot. A great number of spots are reserved for long-term permit holders and village residents. There is also ample parking for daily use.[8]
The station has three high-level island platforms, each 10 cars long.[9]: 4
