The
Yonkers Metro-North Railroad station
serves the downtown area of Yonkers,
New York via the Hudson Line. It is
one of four express stations on that
line south of Croton-Harmon, seeing
most trains minus peak hour trains
to/from Poughkeepsie. Some Amtrak
trains also serve it. Trains leave
for New York City every 25 to 35 minutes
on weekdays. It is 15.1 miles (24
km) from Grand Central Terminal in
Manhattan. Travel time to Grand Central
is approximately 33 minutes. The station
is located 2 blocks west of Getty
Square. The station was built in 1911
in the Beaux-Arts style. The architects
were Warren and Wetmore, one of the
firms responsible for Grand Central
Terminal. In 2004, Metro-North completed
a $43 million restoration of the Yonkers
station.
