Platforms and Tracks
The station has two slightly offset high-level platforms each 10 cars long. The west one is an island platform next to Tracks 2 and 4 and generally used by southbound or Manhattan-bound trains. The east one is a side platform next to Track 3 and generally used by northbound or outbound trains.
The Hudson Line has four tracks here; the inner track not next to either platform is used by express trains.

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)
