The Mount Pleasant Metro-North Railroad station serves two adjacent cemeteries (Gate of Heaven and Kensico, the latter of which had its own station until the mid-1980s) and an adjacent funeral home in Hawthorne, New York via the Harlem Line. There is one train in each direction on weekdays and three trains in each direction on weekends. The station exists largely for visitors of those buried in the cemetery, in turn there is no parking available at this station and it is not intended as a commuter station.
This station is located in the Zone 5 Metro-North fare zone.
On February 3, 2015, the Valhalla train crash occurred south of this station, in which a Metro-North train crashed into a Mercedes-Benz SUV[1] at Commerce Street near the Taconic State Parkway. The crash caused 6 deaths and at least 15 injuries, including 7 serious injuries.[2]
Platform and track configuration
2 | ■ Harlem Line | for Grand Central |
1 | ■ Harlem Line | for Wassaic |
This station has two offset high-level side platforms, each about 50 feet long. They are accessible to only one door of a train. When trains stop here, usually the first or last car receives and discharges passengers. The western platform, adjacent to Track 2, is usually used by southbound trains. The eastern platform, adjacent to Track 1, is usually used by northbound trains. The platforms are offset by about 200 feet and passengers must wait on pathways next to the platforms due to the platforms' extreme shortness. The Harlem Line has two tracks at this location.
