The Tarrytown Metro-North Railroad station serves residents of Tarrytown, New York and other commuters via the Hudson Line and is one of four express stations on that line south of Croton–Harmon seeing most trains minus peak hour trains to/from Poughkeepsie. Trains leave for New York City every 25 to 35 minutes on weekdays. It is from Grand Central Terminal and travel time to Grand Central is about 44 minutes (35 minutes express). The Tappan Zee Bridge is not far from the station, so the station sees some use by commuters from Rockland County. As of August 2006, daily commuter ridership was 2677 and there are 909 parking spots,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hudson Line )〕 fewer than 100 of which are owned by the railroad. ==Station building== The Tarrytown station was first used by commuters in 1890. The original station building, which also served as the terminus of John D. Rockefeller's private telegraph wire to his home in Pocantico Hills, was destroyed in a fire caused by a cigarette in April 1922. Plans for a new station were completed three years later in October 1925. Almost 120 years after the station first went into use, an announcement was made in November 2007 concerning a large scale refurbishment of the station as part of the second phase of MTA's Capital Program. The renovated building will include a ticket agent and waiting area, new heated overpasses, stairways and elevators as well as new platforms. Metro-North has set aside $3.5 million for the project with the expectation that design work would be completed by the second quarter of 2008. Work at the Tarrytown station began in October 2009 and Metro North reports this federal stimulus project is expected to be finished by 2012. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tarrytown (Metro-North station)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
