Platforms and Tracks
This station has two high-level platforms each six cars long. The west one is a side platform next to Track 2 and generally used by southbound trains. The east one is an island platform between Tracks 1 and 3 for trains in either direction.
The Hudson Line has four tracks here. Track 5, east of the east platform but not next to it, is used by trains that don't stop here.

Famous quotes containing the words platforms and/or tracks:
“The personal things should be left out of platforms at conventions .... You can argue yourself blue in the face, and you’re not going to change each other’s minds. It’s a waste of your time and my time.”
—Barbara Bush (b. 1925)
“I long ago lost a hound, a bay horse, and a turtle-dove, and am still on their trail. Many are the travellers I have spoken concerning them, describing their tracks and what calls they answered to. I have met one or two who had heard the hound, and the tramp of the horse, and even seen the dove disappear behind a cloud, and they seemed as anxious to recover them as if they had lost them themselves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
