Crestwood (Metro-North station) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Crestwood (Metro-North station)
Crestwood (originally Yonkers Park) is a Metro-North Railroad station serving the residents of Crestwood and Tuckahoe, New York on the Harlem Line. It is from Grand Central Terminal. Crestwood is the northernmost station of the triple-track segment of the Harlem Line, and is consequently the terminus of many local trains during rush hour. The Harlem Line of the Metro-North commuter railroad runs along the Bronx River and has two stops in the Village of Tuckahoe. Since both stations could not be named "Tuckahoe," the southern station down by the Village Hall is named "Tuckahoe" and the northern station "Crestwood" after the adjoining residential neighborhood of Crestwood, Yonkers. As of August 2006, daily commuter ridership was 1,596, and there are 283 parking spots.〔(New York Times 2006 Metro-North commuuter rail info )〕 This station is the first/last station in the Zone 3 Metro-North fare zone. ==History== Originally built by the New York Central Railroad sometime in 1901, the station's canopy was rebuilt in 1911, then faced a major redesign in 1928.〔(Crestwood Railroad Station (Library of Congress: American Memory, Page 4) )〕 The Crestwood railroad station is depicted in the painting "Commuter" by Norman Rockwell and was featured on the cover of the November 16, 1946 edition of the ''Saturday Evening Post''. In Norman Rockwell's depiction, you can see commuters approaching from the Crestwood side of the station. As with the rest of the Harlem Line, the merger of New York Central with Pennsylvania Railroad in 1968 transformed it into a Penn Central station, which received platform extensions in 1971.〔(Crestwood Railroad Station (Library of Congress: American Memory, Page 5) )〕 Penn Central commuter service was gradually merged with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and officially became part of Metro-North in 1983. In the Spring of 1989, the platforms were reconstructed again, along with those of Fleetwood, Bronxville, and Tuckahoe stations.〔(Harlem Line Schedule History (iRide the Harlem Line) )〕
