Southeast station

The Southeast station (formerly known as Brewster North station) on the Metro-North Railroad's Harlem Line, located in Southeast, New York. Trains leave for New York City every hour, and about every 30 minutes during rush hour. It is the terminus of the Harlem Line electrified service. For travel farther north to Wassaic, passengers must transfer here to diesel powered service. Exceptions are rush hours and a direct round-trip to Grand Central on weekends. It is 53.2 miles (86 km) from Grand Central Terminal and travel time to Grand Central is approximately one hour, 27 minutes. The current terminal complex opened in 1980 as a delayed replacement for the Dykeman's station, closed over a decade earlier, and took its current name in October 2003.[1][2][3]

Southeast is the northernmost Harlem Line station in Metro-North fare zone 7. Just south of the station is Metro-North's Southeast Diesel Maintenance Facility, and trains either beginning or ending their routes here can be seen snaking to and from it before or afterwards.

The extensive parking at the station is fed by a wide, 1-mile (1.6 km) access road known as Independent Way that connects to NY 312 right next to its interchange with Interstate 84, making it very convenient to reach. There is no handicapped parking available at the station, other than for town residents with permits (which cost $590 per year) or for a maximum 16-hour metered period.[4] The station traffic has led to the construction of a shopping plaza and Home Depot along the road at the crest of the rise between the exit and the station; it can easily be seen when approaching the exit along I-84 eastbound.

Station layout

This station has one eight-car-long high-level island platform serving trains in both directions.[5]:14 North of the station, the two tracks merge and electrification ends.
