Cold Spring (Metro-North Station)

Cold Spring (Metro-North Station)

Cold Spring is a Metro-North Railroad station that serves the residents of Cold Spring, New York via the Hudson Line. Trains leave for New York City every hour on weekdays, and about every 25 minutes during rush hour. It is 52.5 miles (85 km) from Grand Central Terminal and travel time to Grand Central is approximately one hour and 21 minutes.

The current Cold Spring station is located slightly south of the old one, still standing at the foot of Cold Spring's Main Street. Walkways on both sides of the tracks connect the two. They receive ample use not only from local residents taking the train but from city residents visiting the village, as the station is adjacent to the quaint shops and streets of the Cold Spring Historic District. Hikers can often be seen around the station on warmer weekends, headed to or from the nearby peaks of the Hudson Highlands, since service here is regular while the more convenient Breakneck Ridge is merely a flag stop.

Famous quotes containing the words cold and/or spring:

    The cold wet winds ever blowing,
    And the shadowy hazel grove
    Where mouse-grey waters are flowing,
    Threaten the head that I love.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I swear to keep the dead upon my mind,/Disdain for all time to be overglad./Among spring flowers, under summer trees./By chilling autumn waters, in the frosts/Of supercilious winter—all my days/I’ll have as mentors those reproving ghosts.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
