The Riverdale (also known as Riverdale – West 254th Street) Metro-North Railroad station serves the residents of the Riverdale neighborhood via the Hudson Line. Trains leave for Manhattan every 25 to 35 minutes on weekdays. It about 12.2 miles from Grand Central Terminal and travel time to Grand Central is about 26 minutes. After Mount Saint Vincent station at West 261st Street was closed in 1979, it became the northernmost station on the Hudson Line in the Bronx.
As of August 2006, daily commuter ridership was 543 and there were 153 parking spaces.[1]
Station layout
The station has two high-level, side platforms each eight cars long. An additional Track 6 is located west of the southbound platform, but is not powered nor used. Just south of the station are switches that allow Empire Corridor trains to diverge to Pennsylvania Station via the Spuyten Duyvil Bridge and the Empire Connection.
Next to the station's southbound platform lies the Riverdale Waterfront Promenade and Fishing Access Site. Dedicated in 2005, by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the park "is 20 feet (6.1 m) wide and 600 feet (180 m) long, providing benches and a place to fish or take a stroll between Metro-North train tracks and the Hudson shoreline."[2]
Under the 2015–2019 MTA Capital Plan, the station, along with four other Metro-North Railroad stations, would receive a complete overhaul as part of the Enhanced Station Initiative and would be entirely closed for up to 6 months. Updates would include cellular service, Wi-Fi, USB charging stations, interactive service advisories, and maps.[3]
