Fleetwood station is acommuter rail stop on theMetro-North Railroad'sHarlem Line, located in the Fleetwood section ofMount Vernon, New York.
As of August 2006, daily commuter ridership was 2,355 and there are 654 parking spots.[3]
Fleetwood station was originally built on October 25, 1924, by theNew York Central Railroad. TheCross County Parkway was built over the station, and was widened during the 1950s and 1960s.[4][5] As with the rest of the Harlem Line, the merger of New York Central withPennsylvania Railroad in 1968 transformed it into aPenn Central station, whose service was gradually merged with theMetropolitan Transportation Authority, and officially became part of Metro-North in 1983. In the Spring of 1989, the platforms were reconstructed, along with those ofBronxville,Tuckahoe, andCrestwood stations.[6] A two-track girder bridge over theBronx River can be found north of the station. When the station was triple-tracked, a new bridge for the third track was built north of the station.[7]
The station has two slightly offset high-level platforms, each 12 cars long.[8]: 10
