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.
