The Irvington Metro-North Railroad station serves residents of Irvington, New York via the Hudson Line. Trains leave for New York City every 25 to 35 minutes on weekdays. It is 21.9 miles from Grand Central Terminal and travel time to Grand Central is about 51 minutes on local trains and 36 to 42 minutes on express/semi-express trains.
==History==
The Hudson River Railroad reached the settlement by 1849; the first passengers on a regularly scheduled run through the village paid fifty cents to travel from Peekskill to Chambers Street in Manhattan on September 29, 1849.〔Lockwood, Wolfert Ecker in Graff & Graff, p.35〕 The community was in the process of renaming itself after author Washington Irving, despite the fact that he was still alive at the time. In 1852, Irvington was also named for the first coal-fueled steam locomotive of the Hudson River Railroad.〔(45-855 Railroads, The First Big Business: Topic 5 (Voteview) )〕 The HRR was acquired by the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad in 1869, and the New York Central Railroad in 1913.
The existing station house was built in 1889 and designed by the Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge architectural firm. As with most of the stations along the Hudson Line, it was transformed into a Penn Central station when New York Central merged with the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1968. Bankruptcy of the company followed by 1970, and Penn Central eventually turned passenger service over to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority of New York, who made it part of Metro-North in 1983.
