Tuckahoe station is acommuter rail stop on theMetro-North Railroad'sHarlem Line, located in the village ofTuckahoe, New York.
TheNew York and Harlem Railroad laid tracks through Tuckahoe during the mid-1840s, and evidence of a station in Tuckahoe can be found at least as far back as the 1850s.[3][4] The current Tuckahoe station building was originally built in 1901, by theNew York Central Railroad, and was given an additional baggage elevator approximately in 1912.[5] The station continued to serve commuters without much change until the New York Central merged with rivalPennsylvania Railroad to form Penn Central in 1968. As Penn Central was facing bankruptcy, theMetropolitan Transportation Authority began subsidizing service in 1970, and high-level platforms were constructed to accommodate the newM1A electric MU cars being delivered at the time. Operation of the railroad continued and was passed on toConrail in 1976. Metro-North took over direct operation in 1983.
In the Spring of 1989, the platforms were reconstructed, along with those ofFleetwood,Bronxville, andCrestwood stations.[6] The baggage and freight elevators were also converted into passenger elevators
The station has two high-levelside platforms, each 12 cars long.[7]: 10
As of August 2006, daily commuter ridership was 1,378 and there are 314 parking spots.[8]
