Hartsdale station is a commuter rail stop on the Metro-North Railroad's Harlem Line, serving the communities of Greenburgh and Scarsdale, New York. It is 20.6 miles (33.2 km) from Grand Central Terminal, and the average travel time varies between 33 and 48 minutes (depending on if a train is express or local).
The station is located in the Zone 4 Metro-North fare zone.
History[]
The station building was originally built in 1915 (or 1914 according to the MTA[6]) by the Warren and Wetmore architectural firm for the New York Central Railroad, as a replacement for a smaller wooden depot built by the New York and Harlem Railroad originally known as "Hart's Corner Station."[7] Unlike most Warren & Wetmore-built NYC stations, which were grand cathedral-like structures using Beaux-Arts architecture, the station in particular was strictly of the Tudor Revival style. The station was named after the valley owned by the Harts.[8]: 28
As with most of the Harlem Line, the merger of New York Central with Pennsylvania Railroad in 1968 transformed the station into a Penn Central Railroad station. Penn Central's continuous financial despair throughout the 1970s forced them to turn over their commuter service to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority which made it part of Metro-North in 1983. In 2011, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[4]
Station layout[]
The station has two slightly offset high-level side platforms, each 12 cars long.[9]: 11
Public art[]
The station is the site of Workers, a series of sculptures by Tom Nussbaum portraying silhouettes of railroad workers and commuters. The sculptures are rendered in COR-TEN® steel and placed between the northbound and southbound tracks. Additional monumentally-scaled human figures made of iron are situated in the track bed.[10]
In popular culture[]
The station was used in the third season of The Sinner as a stand in for the fictional Dorchester station.[11]
