Breakneck Ridge (Metro-North Station)
The Breakneck Ridge Metro-North Railroad station serves hikers and campers traveling to and from Breakneck Ridge, north of Cold Spring, New York, via the Hudson Line. Trains stop there on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays only. It is served by two trains each way; two to Poughkeepsie in the morning, and two to Grand Central Terminal in the evening. It is 55 miles (89 km) from Grand Central Terminal and travel time to Grand Central is approximately one hour, 29 minutes.
It is located off an embankment from New York State Route 9D, with only one sign (on the east side of the track), merely a small path leading to the overpass and then down to the tracks about a half-mile (1 km) north of the main parking area for the Breakneck Ridge hiking trail. There is only a very small wooden platform to provide access to the trains.

Famous quotes containing the word ridge:
“All sound heard at the greatest possible distance produces one and the same effect, a vibration of the universal lyre, just as the intervening atmosphere makes a distant ridge of earth interesting to our eyes by the azure tint it imparts to it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
