Hartsdale Railroad Station
About this property
Hartsdale station is a commuter rail station on the Metro-North Railroad Harlem Line, located in the Hartsdale hamlet of Greenburgh, New York. The station has two slightly offset high-level side platforms, each 12 cars long. The station is the site of Workers, a series of sculptures by Tom Nussbaum portraying silhouettes of railroad workers and commuters. The sculptures are rendered in COR-TEN® steel and placed between the northbound and southbound tracks. Additional monumentally-scaled human figures made of iron are situated in the track bed. The station building was originally built in 1915 (or 1914 according to the MTA) by the Warren and Wetmore architectural firm for the New York Central Railroad, as a replacement for a smaller wooden depot built by the New York and Harlem Railroad originally known as "Hart's Corner Station." Unlike most Warren & Wetmore-built NYC stations, which were grand cathedral-like structures using Beaux-Arts architecture, the station in particular was strictly of the Tudor Revival style. The station was named after the valley owned by the Harts. As with most of the Harlem Line, the merger of New York Central with Pennsylvania Railroad in 1968 transformed the station into a Penn Central Railroad station. Penn Central's continuous financial despair throughout the 1970s forced them to turn over their commuter service to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority which made it part of Metro-North in 1983. In 2011, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The station was used in the third season of The Sinner as a stand in for the fictional Dorchester station. A renovation for accessibility, which added a footbridge with elevators connecting to the existing footbridge, was completed in January 2024.
