History

Hastings-on-Hudson has had railroad service from as far back as the 1840s, pre-dating the Hudson River Railroad,^[3] and served both passengers and a local sugar refinery. In 1875, a major fire destroyed the waterfront, and the company running the sugar refinery left town, but other industries ended up taking its place.^[4]

The current Hastings-on-Hudson station building was built in 1910 by the New York Central Railroad.^{[citation needed]} As with many NYCRR stations in Westchester County, the station became a Penn Central station upon the merger between NYC and Pennsylvania Railroad in 1968, until it was taken over by Conrail in 1976, and then by Metro-North Railroad in 1983.

Station layout

The station has two slightly offset high-level side platforms each eight cars long. The inner tracks not next to either platform are used by express trains, only one of the express tracks is powered.^[5][6]: 2
