The Spuyten Duyvil Metro-North Railroad station serves the residents of the Spuyten Duyvil neighborhood of the Bronx, New York via the Hudson Line. Trains leave for New York City every 25 to 35 minutes on weekdays. It is about 10.4 miles from Grand Central Terminal and travel time to Grand Central is about 23 minutes.
As of August 2006[update], daily commuter ridership was 913 and there were 100 parking spots.[1] More than half of the commuters travel to the station using the Hudson Rail Link bus.[2]
During 2013, two trains derailed near the station. A freight train hauling garbage lost nearly half its cars in July between Spuyten Duyvil and Marble Hill, requiring four days to clean up before one of the tracks could be reopened.[3] In December, a passenger train derailment north of the station resulted in four passenger deaths (the first in the railroad's history) and 75 injuries.[4]
Platforms and tracks
The station has two high-level platforms. The north one is an eight-car-long side platform generally used by northbound trains. The south one is a four-car-long island platform generally used by southbound trains.
The Hudson Line has three tracks here. The northbound platform is next to Track 1 and the southbound platform is between Tracks 2 and 4. Directly east (railroad south) of the station, Track 4 merges with Track 2.
