Larchmont station is a commuter rail station on the Metro-North Railroad New Haven Line, located in Larchmont, New York. The station has two high-level side platforms, each 10 cars long, serving the outer tracks of the four-track Northeast Corridor.[2]: 18
History
[edit]Larchmont station was originally built by the New York and New Haven Railroad. It was rebuilt by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad twice during the 20th century: first in the 1920s in order to facilitate a separate New York, Westchester and Boston Railway station,[3] and again in 1959–1960 for construction of the New England Thruway.[4][5][6]
As with all New Haven Line stations in Westchester County, the station became a Penn Central station upon acquisition by Penn Central in 1969, and eventually became part of the MTA's Metro-North Railroad.
