Platforms and Tracks
The station has two high-level platforms each eight cars long. The west one is an island platform generally used by southbound or Manhattan-bound trains. The east one is a side platform generally used by northbound or outbound trains.
The Hudson Line has five tracks here. The west platform is between Tracks 4 and 6, but only Track 4 carries Metro-North passenger trains. (Track 6 is not powered and used by freight trains.) The east platform is next to Track 3. The two inner tracks not next to either platform are used by express trains.

—Barbara Bush (b. 1925)
“Leonid Ivanovich Shigaev is dead.... The suspension dots, customary in Russian obituaries, must represent the footprints of words that have departed on tiptoe, in reverent single file, leaving their tracks on the marble....”
