Mount Vernon East (Metro-North station)
The Mount Vernon East Metro-North Railroad station serves passengers at Mount Vernon, New York, via the New Haven Line. The station is the first station north of the junction where the New Haven Line splits from the Harlem Line and is the only station on the line before it changes from third rail power to overhead catenary power, which takes place north of there, between Mount Vernon East and Pelham stations. Some New Haven Railroad-era overhead catenary poles can still be found southwest of the Gramatan Avenue bridge. After Pelham, the New Haven Line joins the Northeast Corridor at New Rochelle.
Mount Vernon East is from Grand Central Terminal and the average travel time from Grand Central is 29 minutes. It contains stained glass artwork named ''Tranquility'' by Marjorie Blackwell from 2001,〔(Mount Vernon East; Marjorie Blackwell; Tranquility, 2001 (MTA; Arts for Transit and Urban Design) )〕 and the station itself is dedicated to Fred Wilkinson.
==History==
Prior to being acquired by Penn Central Railroad, the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad had two stations in Mount Vernon; The main station which was actually located west of the Park Avenue Bridge rather than east of it, and another at Columbus Avenue, which also included a connecting station for the New York, Westchester and Boston Railway,〔(Columbus Avenue NHRR and NYW&B station; October 1937 (TrainsAreFun) )〕 one of five NYW&B stations within the city. Mount Vernon's main New Haven Railroad station contained a series of sidetracks on the north side of East First Street between Park and Fulton Avenues. Penn Central closed the Columbus Avenue station during the early-1970s and converted the sidetracks into extended parking lots. After the station became a Metro-North station, it was moved and rebuilt across the Park Avenue Bridge to Elm Avenue across from Portugal Place, in spite of the fact that Metro-North still gives the address as being at East First Street. Today, the site of the old Mount Vernon New Haven Railroad Station is occupied by August Petrillo Plaza (''see below''), a Westchester County Bee-Line Bus System and local taxi hub.
