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:
“I would rather be known as an advocate of equal suffrage than to speak every night on the best-paying platforms in the United States and ignore it.”
—Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
“Our law very often reminds one of those outskirts of cities where you cannot for a long time tell how the streets come to wind about in so capricious and serpent-like a manner. At last it strikes you that they grew up, house by house, on the devious tracks of the old green lanes; and if you follow on to the existing fields, you may often find the change half complete.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
