86-502: Peoria and Union Station are the two locations where RTD commuter rail and light rail meet, and Peoria is the only station facilitating a cross-platform transfer between the two systems. Peoria station is also served by several TheRide bus routes and has a 550-space park-and-ride lot. The A Line began service at Peoria station on April 22, 2016. The R Line began service on February 24, 2017. Peoria station includes four tracks accessible through three platforms. The platform closest to

172-472: A 170 feet (52 m)-long platform at Morris Heights, which was set to be lengthened at a later date. The abandoned station building at University Heights was removed as part of the project. High-level platforms at Spuyten Duyvil and Riverdale were completed in early 1975. On May 2, 1975, the new platforms on the Hudson Line were formally put into service. The completion was marked with a ceremony with

258-915: A 1978 decision by the United States Supreme Court . On May 1, 1971, the National Railroad Passenger Corporation took over all intercity passenger service in the US. Penn Central continued to operate freight and commuter service along the Hudson line until it was folded into Conrail on April 1, 1976. Conrail continued to operate commuter service to Poughkeepsie & freight service north of Poughkeepsie (while, Amtrak's Empire Service continued to Albany and beyond). On July 1, 1973, along with several other stations in Penn Central's Metropolitan Region,

344-521: A central bus lane and tram line on the outside. Similarly, light rail–bus connections can be found at Juniors Kingsford and Haymarket light rail stations in Sydney. Ormskirk railway station in Lancashire , United Kingdom , was a double-track railway until 1970, when it was converted into single-track railway with the track split in the centre by buffer stops placed back-to-back. The two ends of

430-592: A certain waiting time window for each guaranteed interchange. Some railway operators will briefly delay train departure signals to allow imminently arriving passengers time to interchange. For example, the Vienna U-Bahn metro signals train drivers to wait briefly, by operating a special white light signal triggered by the approach of an interchange train on another track. In most cases, only cross-platform interchanges used for both directions of travel are listed, with some exceptions. Siam Station allows for

516-616: A cross-platform transfer at a dedicated platform 0.6 miles (0.97 km) east of the main station platform. Despite this transfer, the Yellow Line is mapped and signed as one continuous route. Konggangxinchengjiangning station of Nanjing Metro , China is also a cross-platform terminal station for both Line S1 and S7, with a single island platform and crossovers set at both ends of station, letting trains of both lines to switch back. Zhongli railway station in Taoyuan, Taiwan has

602-1050: A cross-platform transfer between the Sukhumvit line and the Silom line , both operated by the BTS , for trains heading in the same direction. Eastbound trains use the lower-level island platform, while the westbound trains depart from the upper-level platforms. Guogongzhuang station offers cross-platform interchange between Line 9 and Fangshan Line . National Library station offers cross-platform interchange between Lines 4 and 9. In addition Nanluoguxiang station (Lines 6 and 8), Zhuxinzhuang station ( Changping Line and Line 8), Beijing West railway station (Lines 7 and 9), Yancun East station (Fangshan Line and Yanfang Line) offer cross-platform interchange. Xipu Station in Chengdu provides cross-platform interchange between Line 2 of Chengdu Metro and Chengdu–Dujiangyan Intercity Railway of

688-525: A holding company that had taken possession of Penn Central's assets upon its bankruptcy, while the Grand Central Terminal was owned by Midtown TDR Ventures. Under the terms of the leases for each asset, the MTA would only be able to exercise an option to purchase the three assets before October 2019. The MTA's finance committee approved the proposed purchase on November 13, 2018, and the purchase

774-432: A proposed cross-platform terminal plan for both Taoyuan Airport MRT and Green line of Taoyuan Metro . The station layout will be composed of two island platform, between which a connecting zone set to integrated the two into a single "large platform". Buffer stops will also be placed back-to back between Airport-bound trains and Green Line trains. The scheme is scheduled to complete in 2031. In some, but not all, cases,

860-567: A same-direction cross-platform interchange at Tai Wai station to the East Rail line while keeping the two southbound platforms connected via ramps. Another configuration found in Lai King station makes commuting in both directions more convenient by aligning both tracks leading towards the city next to each other on one level, and both tracks leading away from city next to each other on another level. The configuration for North Point station

946-462: A same-direction cross-platform interchange between the Line 2 Pudong International Airport bound trains and Line 10 Xinjiangwancheng bound trains. Shanghai Railway Station and Zhongshan Park also offer cross-platform interchanges between Outer Loop Line 4 trains and Shanghai South Railway Station bound Line 3 trains and Inner Loop Line 4 trains and North Jiangyang Road bound Line 3 trains, as

1032-431: A similar two-station transfer arrangement to allow quick transfers between North–South and East–West lines. Both City Hall MRT station and Raffles Place MRT station have double underground island platforms stacked on top the other, allowing commuters to switch trains to a different line by walking across the same platform at the appropriate station. Jurong East MRT station has a less complicated arrangement, with

1118-640: A single daily round trip (timed for commuting to Albany) made local stops. It was cut to a Hudson–Albany round trip with four intermediate stops by 1964, and discontinued around 1965; some intercity trains continued to stop at Rhinecliff and Hudson . At the end of World War II , private rail service began a sharp decline with the start of the Jet Age and the construction of the Interstate Highway System . NYC, facing declining year-over-year profits, merged in 1968 with its former rival,

1204-720: A southbound train derailed near the Spuyten Duyvil station in the Bronx. Four people were killed and more than 60 passengers were injured in the crash. Federal investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board determined that the train was traveling at 82 miles per hour (132 km/h), a speed nearly three times the maximum allowable speed of 30 miles per hour (48 km/h). The train's brakes were apparently operating normally and area tracks in proper condition. On November 13, 2018,

1290-552: A transfer to the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line of the New York City Subway at the 225th Street station. A short curve away brings the trains to Spuyten Duyvil and its stairs to the street. Just past the station, the track rejoins the original Hudson River Railroad, shared with Amtrak , and after one more stop at Riverdale is out of New York City. The Palisades present themselves across

1376-611: Is a type of interchange between different lines at a metro (or other railway) station. The term originates with the London Underground ; such layouts exist in other networks but are not commonly so named. In the United States and Canada, it is often referred to as a cross-platform transfer . This configuration occurs at a station with island platforms , with a single platform in between the tracks allocated to two directions of travel, or two side platforms between

1462-527: Is also a cross-platform interchange with double underground island platforms between the Marina Bay branch of the Circle Line and Downtown Line . The original plans for Promenade MRT station contained a similar arrangement but the existing Circle Line tracks to and from Dhoby Ghaut need to be crossed at the same levels by Downtown Line trains. Thus, Bayfront MRT station is the only station on

1548-655: Is available between Line 1 and Line 2 at Nanning railway station and Chaoyang Square station. The Osaka Metro has a cross-platform interchange between the Midosuji Line and the Yotsubashi Line at Daikokuchō , where the platforms are at the same level. Kintetsu Railway also has a cross-platform interchange between the Nara Line and the Osaka Line at Tsuruhashi , where the platforms are at

1634-540: Is offered between Line 2 and Line 4 at Qianjiang Road station , Coach Center between Line 1 and Line 9 , Zhejiang Chinese Medical University station between Lines 4 and Line 6 , Xintiandi Street station between Line 3 and Line 4. In the Mass Transit Railway (MTR) system, cross-platform interchange stations first appeared at Mong Kok and Prince Edward stations in Kowloon when Tsuen Wan line

1720-462: Is only found at some interchange stations in metro and other rail networks worldwide. Some railway lines, usually in more congested areas, also offer cross-platform interchanges between different categories of trains, for example between express and stopping ("local") trains. For instance, this kind of interchange is used at many European railway minor hubs to connect fast trains to local feeder services, as well as surface sections of suburban lines like

1806-454: Is provided at Jiangbeicheng between Line 6 and Line 9. Aside from these, Min'an Ave. between Loop line and Line 4 is an exception. Due to the fact that Line 4 only uses one side of the platforms at this station, there formed a half cross-platform interchange. The Dalian Metro has a cross platform interchange between Line 1 and Line 12 at Hekou Station. The Delhi Metro has 4 cross-platform interchanges in total. These are located at

1892-477: Is similar, to provide convenience for passengers traveling inbound, although the distance between the two platforms is longer compared to other stations. Before the MTR–KCR merger in 2007, Nam Cheong station was served by MTR 's Tung Chung line and KCR 's West Rail line. Due to the different fare systems, platforms of southbound Tung Chung Line and northbound West Rail were separated by barriers despite being at

1978-485: The 138th Street , Oscawana and Manitou stops were closed. Manitou reopened in 1983. On September 10, 1974, the MTA announced that work would start on the construction of high-level platforms at eleven stations in the Bronx and Manhattan including at the Marble Hill , Spuyten Duyvil , University Heights , Morris Heights and Riverdale stations on the Hudson Line. The entire project cost $ 2.8 million. The work

2064-491: The Bear Mountain Bridge abutment. Putnam County 's first station, Manitou , serves a small hamlet. Just north of Garrison , there is another tunnel and then a view of the stone buildings of West Point ; the riverside village of Cold Spring is the next stop, last in the county. The Dutchess County line is crossed in a pair of 842-foot (257 m) tunnels under Breakneck Ridge at Breakneck Point; across

2150-601: The Chongqing Rail Transit offer a paired cross-platform interchange for passengers transferring among four directions between the two lines at Ranjiaba and Dalongshan stations. Same-direction cross-platform interchanges are also provided at Chongqing West Station between Line 5 and Loop line , Baoshuigang between Line 4 and Line 9 , Shangwanlu between Line 10 and Line 9 and Wangjiazhuang between Line 6 (International Expo Branch) and Line 10. Meanwhile, an opposite-direction cross-platform interchange

2236-679: The Empire Connection , a segment of track owned by Amtrak . This segment currently used by Amtrak's Empire Corridor trains to access Penn Station, diverges from the Hudson Line between Riverdale and Spuyten Duyvil stations. The proposal includes the construction of two new Hudson Line stations along the Empire Connection in Manhattan; one near 125th Street in Manhattanville and the other near 62nd Street on

2322-605: The Harlem River , the Hudson Line departs from the track shared with the Harlem and New Haven Lines , passing first Yankees–East 153rd Street , which offers access to the lower Bronx and Yankee Stadium . After it is the employee-only Highbridge stop as it follows the river northward and, at first, the Major Deegan Expressway . Marble Hill , technically in Manhattan despite being on the mainland, offers

2408-671: The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad 's red-black-white palette can be seen as equipment on the line is pooled with ConnDOT , whose red-striped passenger coaches are also in wide use on the Hudson Line. The Metro-North-owned Genesis units received a new paint scheme in 2007. As part of the Penn Station Access project, the MTA has proposed to send some Hudson Line trains to Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan . Hudson Line trains would access Penn Station via

2494-547: The Park Avenue Tunnel . Turning the locomotives around at either end of the line would be cumbersome and time-consuming, so trains use push-pull operation with the locomotive usually on the north end of the train. They usually pull/push six or seven Shoreliner passenger cars with a cab car at the south end of the train. The Genesis locomotives are mostly in Metro-North's silver-and-blue livery, but sometimes

2580-749: The Pennsylvania Railroad , forming the Penn Central Transportation Company . Penn Central continued to lose money and attempted several maneuvers to delay bankruptcy, including auctioning off the air rights of Grand Central Terminal ; the Pennsylvania Railroad had done the same thing to Penn Station . However, this approval was denied, and the denial was affirmed in Penn Central Transportation Co. v. New York City ,

2666-744: The RER E in Paris or the Metro North Hudson Line in New York State. However, local–express interchanges are found in only a few metro networks, such as Chicago , Chengdu , London (as in the case of Stratford discussed below ), New York City , and Philadelphia . The New York City Subway system has numerous stations facilitating cross-platform transfers between local and express trains, typically using pairs of island platforms, each serving express trains on one side, and local trains on

2752-786: The Upper West Side . The project would give Hudson Line riders a direct ride to destinations on the West Side. Since the tracks continue north of Poughkeepsie, there have been various proposals over the years from both the MTA (Metro-North's parent agency) and Amtrak , to extend service northwards. New York Central and Penn Central operated rail service north of Poughkeepsie to Albany-Rensselaer until April 30, 1971; since then, only Amtrak's intercity trains continue beyond Poughkeepsie. Most proposals have been scratched after strong opposition from residents of northern Dutchess County , who fear

2838-536: The construction of Grand Central Terminal in the early 1900s, all of New York Central's lines that ran into the terminal were electrified. Third rail was installed on the Hudson and Harlem Divisions, while the New Haven Division received overhead wires on the segments that were not shared with the Harlem and Hudson Division. The first electric train departed for the temporary Grand Central Station , from

2924-516: The national rail transport system . It is the first implementation of cross-platform interchanges between different train categories in China. Metro-only cross-platform interchanges exist between Lines 2 and 4 at Chengdu University of TCM & Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital station , between Lines 5 and 6 at Xibeiqiao station and outbound direction interchanges between Lines 3 and 10 at Taipingyuan station . Line 5 and Line 6 of

3010-553: The 30th Street Branch, continued until late 1929 or early 1930. The New York Central operated many intercity and commuter trains over this line for many years. It was a key route in connecting Grand Central Terminal in New York to LaSalle Street Station in Chicago . Commuter service was always concentrated south of Poughkeepsie: by 1940, only three daily round trips – none of them timed for commuting to New York City – made local stops between Albany and Poughkeepsie. By 1960, only

3096-543: The Harlem Division's Highbridge station in the Bronx, on September 30, 1906. Electrification would eventually extend to Croton–Harmon station . The former main line south of Spuyten Duyvil remained for freight to the docks along Manhattan's west side and minimal passenger service to the West Side Station on Chambers Street (used until 1916). Passenger service on this line, which became known as

3182-604: The Harlem Line was removed. The stations along the line between Spuyten Duyvil and Yankees–East 153rd Street were rebuilt on top of this track's roadbed. In 1983, the MTA Metro-North Railroad took control of all commuter operations in the Hudson Valley. As part of the MTA's five-year capital program in 1982, the MTA planned to remove one of the four tracks on the line. The MTA expected that

3268-653: The Hudson Division as early as 1965. The Hudson River Railroad was chartered on May 12, 1846 to extend the Troy and Greenbush Railroad, which connected Troy and Albany, south to New York City along the east bank of the Hudson River . Service began on the first 41 miles (66 km) of the line from Chambers Street and Hudson Street in Lower Manhattan to Peekskill on September 29, 1849. Service

3354-494: The Hudson Line, south of Spuyten Duyvil, is not parallel to the Hudson River . Much of the line in the Bronx parallels the Harlem River , while the entirety of the line in Manhattan follows Park Avenue . North of Spuyten Duyvil, the Hudson Line travels mostly parallel to the river (viewable on the left side northbound and the right side southbound) until the line terminates in Poughkeepsie. Once past 125th Street and over

3440-692: The Hudson River leased the Troy and Greenbush. Cornelius Vanderbilt purchased the Hudson River Railroad in 1864, soon after he bought the parallel New York and Harlem Railroad , which is today's Harlem Line . He merged these and other short line railroads to form the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad, which was renamed the New York Central Railroad in 1914. One of the properties owned by

3526-794: The MRT Putrajaya Line . There is a cross-platform interchange between the Kyoto Municipal Subway Tozai Line and the Keihan Keishin Line at Misasagi . Nanjing Metro 's Nanjing South Railway Station offers cross-platform interchange between Lines 1 and 3 and same-direction cross-platform interchange between Line S1 and Line S3 . In addition, a cross platform interchange is available at Xiangyulunan Station between Line S1 and Line S9 , and Konggangxinchengjiangning Station between Line S1 and Line S7 . A paired cross platform interchange

3612-595: The MRT system which offers cross-platform interchange between two different operators' MRT lines ( SBS Transit operates the Downtown Line whilst SMRT operates the Circle Line). Sadeghieh metro station of Tehran metro offers cross-platform interchanges between both terminating metro lines 2 and 5; while suburban line 5 uses the outer tail tracks of each platform, metro line 2 uses one platform for alighting and

3698-399: The MTA announced its intent to purchase the Hudson and Harlem Lines as well as the Grand Central Terminal for up to $ 35.065 million, plus a discount rate of 6.25%. The purchase would include all inventory, operations, improvements, and maintenance associated with each asset, except for the air rights over Grand Central. At the time, the Hudson and Harlem Lines were owned by Argent Ventures ,

3784-575: The New York Central system. In 1893, a third track was added along the line between Spuyten Duyvil and Sing Sing. This line was rebuilt and realigned in 1905–1906 when the Harlem River Ship Canal was built. The line was realigned along the north side of the canal in Marble Hill, Manhattan . Part of the original segment around Marble Hill became a freight spur leading to the Kingsbridge Freight Station, but

3870-474: The New York and Harlem was the Spuyten Duyvil and Port Morris Railroad . This railroad was built in 1842, and bought in 1853 by the New York and Harlem as part of a proposal by NY&H Vice President Gouverneur Morris Jr. to integrate it into a new industrial section of the waterfront. After this railroad became property of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad, by 1871, the line was extended through

3956-702: The Town of Poughkeepsie and a station closed in the NYCRR days but eventually reopened. The last 8.5 miles (13.7 km) to Poughkeepsie's recently renovated station, including the vast Tilcon quarry , is the longest distance between any two stations on a Metro-North main line. Electric service from and to Croton–Harmon uses the standard M3A and M7A multiple units also seen on the Metro-North Harlem Line . Diesel trains are headed by Genesis P32AC-DMs . These electro-diesels run off third-rail through

4042-676: The U.S. state of New York . It runs north from New York City along the east shore of the Hudson River , terminating at Poughkeepsie . The line was originally the Hudson River Railroad (and the Spuyten Duyvil and Port Morris Railroad south of Spuyten Duyvil ), and eventually became the Hudson Division of the New York Central Railroad . It runs along what was the far southern leg of the Central's famed "Water Level Route" to Chicago . Croton–Harmon station divides

4128-469: The Villages of Tivoli and Rhinebeck passed resolutions against the study. The study was not done because of significant opposition. However, Poughkeepsie-area commuters have supported such plans since they would ease pressure on that station. As recently as January 2007, supervisors of some towns north of Poughkeepsie have expressed new interest in extending rail service. Milepost Zero on the Hudson Line

4214-561: The West Bronx, along the Harlem River to connect with the Hudson River Railroad. The segment north of Mott Haven Junction became part of the Hudson Division, while the portion to the south remained part of the Harlem Division. With the opening of the line, most passenger trains were rerouted into the new Grand Central Depot via that line along the northeast bank of the Harlem River and the New York and Harlem Rail Road, also part of

4300-440: The ability to move around stalled trains. Converting the then-existing four tracks to reversible cab signaling would have cost $ 15 million, which the MTA did not have. On May 23, 2009, a new station was opened at East 153rd Street in the Bronx to serve Yankee Stadium . It sees regular service on the Hudson Line, plus special service from the Hudson, Harlem, and New Haven Lines for New York Yankees games. On December 1, 2013,

4386-477: The change would provide more flexible train service as the line would have received a computerized system capable of running trains in either direction on the three tracks. As part of the plan, trains would have received cab signalling . The change was expected to be completed in three to four years. The New York State DOT and Amtrak were strongly opposed to the proposal as the plan did not take into account future growth of passenger and freight traffic, and reduced

4472-535: The coordination of the lines' timetables to reduce the scheduled changing time, either from one line to the other, or ideally bidirectionally, between both trains simultaneously. Coordinated interchange is widely used in Dutch , German , and Swiss railway networks, where trains of different lines meet at the same platforms in numerous hubs all over the country. Most advanced are coordinated cross-platform interchanges wherein interconnected trains also wait for each other, to "guarantee" scheduled interchanges even in

4558-469: The effect that an easy rail commute to midtown Manhattan would have on their still largely rural communities. In 1999, Metro-North proposed to extend the line 25 miles (40 km) to Tivoli or just 15 miles (24 km) to Rhinecliff . Three new stations would have been built – at Tivoli, Staatsburg and Hyde Park – while the terminus at Rhinecliff would have received commuter service in addition to Amtrak service. Parking facilities would have been built at

4644-454: The entrance is a side platform which allows for boarding southbound R Line trains. There is then an island platform which allows boarding on eastbound A Line trains and alighting from both A Line and northbound R Line trains. The third and final platform is for boarding and alighting from A Line trains bound for Union Station . The island platform and westbound A Line platform require crossing railroad tracks at-grade to access. Additionally,

4730-414: The event of modest delays. To limit schedule disruption propagation throughout the entire network, additional waiting time for trains is usually limited to a certain period of time, depending on general network performance, further connections to be guaranteed, train category, train line, and a balanced consideration of other factors. In practice, most railways coordinating cross-platform interchanges define

4816-516: The following stations:- Fuzhou Metro 's Difengjiang station offers a cross-platform transfer between Line 4 and Line 5 and Liangcuo station between Line 1 and Line 6 . Guangzhou Metro offers three two way cross-platform interchanges by 2016, between Line 2 and Line 3 at Jiahewanggang station , between Line 8 and the Guangfo Line at Shayuan station , Between Line 22 and 18 at Panyu Square station and one between both branches of Line 3 at Tiyu Xilu station . At Tiyu Xilu Station

4902-403: The former main line of the Central. The planned Penn Station Access project would send some Hudson Line trains to Penn Station along the Empire Connection , with two new intermediate stops along the west side of Manhattan. The Hudson Line is colored green on Metro-North timetables and system maps, and stations on the line have green trim. The New York Central used green color-coding for

4988-405: The head of the MTA, David Yunich present. The completion of these five stations marked the completion of a $ 22.8 million project to install high-level platforms at 43 Penn Central stations. The high-level platforms allowed the new Metropolitan and Cosmopolitan to use the stations. During the late 1970s, the Hudson Line's former northbound express track between Spuyten Duyvil and its merger with

5074-524: The inevitable replacement known as the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge . Rockland County fades to almost three miles (4.8 km) away across Haverstraw Bay . But after passing through Sing Sing prison, the train reaches Ossining , where a ferry brings travelers across the wide river to Haverstraw . Electric trains end their runs one stop beyond, at Croton–Harmon , a terminal shared again with Amtrak just south of Harmon Yard and east of Croton Point . The tracks veer inland, closely following US 9 , to

5160-414: The island platform includes stairs and a ramp between the A Line and R Line sides, as the R Line uses low floor vehicles while the A Line uses high floor vehicles. The station can be accessed via North Newark Street and East 35th Place. There are direct connections into the station's park-n-ride and bus loop. Peoria station features Biota , an illuminated sculpture created by Blessing Hancock. The art piece

5246-438: The line into two distinct segments. South of there, the line is electrified with third rail , serving suburban stations located relatively close together. Most of the electrified zone has four tracks, usually two express and local tracks in each direction. For a few miles in the Bronx there are only two or three tracks. Local service is usually provided by electric trains, while diesel trains run express. North of Croton–Harmon,

SECTION 60

#1732779775636

5332-411: The line is not electrified and is mostly double-tracked (with a few triple track areas); the stations are also spaced further apart. Service between Croton–Harmon and Poughkeepsie is provided by diesel trains; these generally run express and skip most of the lower stations. From just north of Spuyten Duyvil to the end of the line, the Hudson Line forms the southern portion of Amtrak 's Empire Corridor ,

5418-486: The network including Chishajiao Station (Line 11 and 12), Tangxi Station (Line 12 and 28), Caihongqiao station (Line 13 and 11), Tianhe Park station (Line 11 and 21). Hangzhou Metro 's East Railway Station and Pengbu station offer paired cross-platform interchange between Line 1 and Line 4 and another paired cross-platform interchange at West Lake Cultural Square and Wulin Square stations between Line 1 and Line 3 . Same-direction cross-platform interchange

5504-447: The next and newest stop, Cortlandt , the only non-New York City station on the line where the Hudson River cannot be seen. The Hudson River reappears at Peekskill , the last stop in the county, where the Bear Mountain Bridge can be seen to the north. North of Peekskill the river narrows as the Hudson Highlands begin. Dunderberg and Bear mountains can be seen across the river. The train passes through two short tunnels, one under

5590-401: The northern section of Line 3 terminates at the center track serving both island platforms connecting to the southern section of Line 3 stopping at the outer tracks. In 2016, a same-direction cross platform interchange started operating between the westbound Line 7 and northbound Line 2 trains at Guangzhou South Railway Station . Several cross platform interchanges are under construction across

5676-417: The other for boarding. Line 2 uses platforms 2 and 3, and Line 5 uses platforms 1 and 4. Eram-e Sabz metro station also has a cross-platform interchange. It has a cross platform interchange between Lines 4 and 5. Line 4 uses platforms 1 and 4, and Line 5 uses platforms 2 and 3. Hudson Line (Metro-North) The Hudson Line is a commuter rail line owned and operated by the Metro-North Railroad in

5762-508: The other side, with both alternatives headed in the same direction. As express and stopping trains usually head for different directions, cross-platform interchange between different train categories (e.g. interchanges between metros and railways) is commonly combined with cross-platform interchanges between different lines. Some stations offer cross-platform transfers between different modes, such as tram and bus, such as at Madeleine station in Charleroi, where two island platforms sit between

5848-776: The past terminated in the south there, alternating on both East/West Rail platforms to offer cross-platform interchanges. At Sunny Bay , passengers on the Tung Chung line from the city can make a cross-platform interchange to a Disneyland Resort line train. However, the inverse is not the case, so passengers returning to the city from Hong Kong Disneyland need to use an overpass to catch a Hong Kong -bound train. Putra Heights offers cross-platform interchange between Sri Petaling Line (Line 4) and Kelana Jaya Line (Line 5) while Chan Sow Lin offers cross-platform interchange between Ampang Line (Line 3) and Sri Petaling Line (Line 4). Tun Razak Exchange and Kwasa Damansara also offers cross-platform interchange between MRT Kajang Line and

5934-515: The respective return directions of both lines sharing a different island platform in the same station complex. Less common is a cross-platform interchange to transfer onto a continuation of same single line served by that station, for example in Kirkby , Ormskirk , and Pittsburg/Bay Point . Common cross-platform interchanges allow passengers to change trains without changing to another platform. This applies at places where trains of different directions meet in minor and major hubs, but this arrangement

6020-401: The river Storm King Mountain is seen. The Breakneck Ridge flag stop marks the end of the Highlands as the river once again broadens around Newburgh Bay . At Beacon , ferry service is available during peak hours to Newburgh , whose skyline is visible across the river, and shortly after leaving the train passes under the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge . Just upriver is New Hamburg , a hamlet of

6106-407: The river as trains pass through the city of Yonkers and its four stops, mostly local. A few express trains do stop at the recently renovated Yonkers station, the first where a transfer to Amtrak is possible. Smaller, local-only suburban stations are passed as the Tappan Zee Bridge appears to the north and the river widens. Finally, between Irvington and Tarrytown , it passes overhead, as does

6192-604: The same elevation, and interconnecting passageways were regulated with one instead of two sets of ticketing barriers. After the merger, some sections of the barrier were demolished in order to provide free cross-platform interchange between southbound Tung Chung Line and northbound West Rail line trains. However, this arrangement does not serve the dominant rush hour passenger flows, which are between New Territories and Hong Kong Island , as well as between Lantau Island and Tsim Sha Tsui . To connect East Rail and West Rail lines at Hung Hom without through-running, both lines were in

6278-1140: The same level. Hanshin Railway has a same direction cross-platform interchange between the Namba Line and Hanshin Main Line at Amagasaki . Cross-platform interchange is available between Line 2 and Line 3 at May 4th Square . Provisions for cross-platform interchange between Line 3 and Line 8 were made at Qingdao North Railway Station . Seoul Subway Geumjeong Station offers cross-platform transfer between Line 1 local services and all 4 services. Gimpo Airport Station also offers cross-platform transfer between all Line 9 services and AREX local service. Also several Line 1 stations offer cross-platform transfer between trains heading to Incheon or Cheonan / Sinchang . Oriental Sports Center Station offers cross-platform interchange between Lines 6 and 11 . In addition, Hongqiao Railway Station provides cross platform interchange between Lines 2 and 17 . While Hongqiao Airport Terminal 2 Station provides

6364-578: The single platform terminate different routes, and interchange for through service is by walking along the platform. Another peculiar configuration exists at Pittsburg/Bay Point station on the BART system in the San Francisco Bay area, California , United States . Mainline BART trains terminate at that station, but onward service is available via an eBART diesel multiple unit (DMU) train. At this station, eBART trains are only accessible through

6450-417: The stations, and a yard would have been built. The Draft Environmental Impact Study for the extension, which would have cost $ 3 million, was deemed as necessary as ridership on the northern part of the Hudson Line was growing faster than that of any other part of the system. The Federal Transit Administration provided some funding for the study. The Towns of Stanford, Milan, Red Hook and Rhinebeck and

6536-693: The terminating rail for the North–South Line aligned between that of the East–West Line, allowing commuters to alight and board simultaneously on either side, with an additional rail for the North–South Line used during peak hours. Tanah Merah MRT station also has a similar arrangement, with the terminating rail for the East West line Changi Airport Extension aligned between the two the East West line platforms, allowing commuters to alight and board simultaneously on either side too. The Bayfront MRT station

6622-662: The track around the northern and western sides of Marble Hill was later removed and no trace of it exists. Today, the realigned line serves as the segment of the Metro-North Railroad Hudson Line between Mott Haven Junction and the West Side Line . The former Kingsbridge Freight Spur and station has been occupied by the grounds of the John F. Kennedy High School since the 1970s. The New York and Putnam Railroad spur remained until 1999. As part of

6708-541: The tracks, connected by level corridors. The benefit of this design is that passengers do not need to use stairs to another platform level for transfer. A cross-platform interchange arrangement may be costly to build due to the complexity of rail alignment, especially if the railway designers also arrange the track with flyovers (which is typically done to increase efficiency). A typical bidirectional cross-platform interchange configuration consists of two outbound directions of two different lines sharing an island platform, and

6794-458: The trains are coordinated in the timetable. In this case, the cross-platform infrastructure offers the possibility of easily changing trains, independently from the waiting time for the second train. In metro systems with short headways, typical waiting time is small, but such a noncoordinated approach could reduce the advantages of stairless cross-platform interchange in railway networks with sparser train traffic. A more-advanced approach involves

6880-699: The two lines share a portion of the same track. Shenzhen metro network includes cross-platform interchanges at Laojie (Lines 1 and 3), Huangbeiling (Lines 2 and 5), Chegongmiao (Lines 7 and 9), Hongshuwan South (Lines 9 and 11), Nanyou (Lines 9 and 12), Huangmugang (Lines 7 and 14), Gangxia North (Lines 11 and 14), and Universiade (Lines 14 and 16) stations. Reservations have been made for future cross platform interchanges at Luohu North (Lines 14 and 17), Xiangmihu West (Lines 14 and 20), Xinsheng (Lines 3 and 21), and Aobei (Lines 14 and 21) stations. The Mass Rapid Transit system in Singapore has

6966-589: Was approved by the full board two days later. The deal finally closed in March 2020, with the MTA taking ownership of the terminal and rail lines. The MTA purchased the segment of the Hudson Line from Grand Central to a point 2 miles (3.2 km) north of Poughkeepsie. North of this point, milepost 75.8, the CSX Transportation -owned and Amtrak -operated Hudson Subdivision rail line continues north to Albany. The southernmost 11 miles (18 km) of

7052-469: Was expected to be completed in the late summer of 1975. As part of the work, the University Heights, Morris Heights and Marble Hill stations had island platforms installed, while side platforms were installed at Riverdale and Spuyten Duyvil. All of the platforms on the Hudson Line were 340 feet (100 m)-long with the exception of a 170 feet (52 m)-long side platform at Spuyten Duyvil and

7138-418: Was extended to New Hamburg on December 6 and to Poughkeepsie on December 31. A separate section opened between East Albany and Hudson on June 16, 1851. This section was extended to Oakhill on July 7 and to Tivoli on August 4. The full line opened on October 8, 1851 with the completion of the final segment between Tivoli and Poughkeepsie, linking the two pieces of the line together. Prior to completion, on June 1,

7224-498: Was installed in 2016 as a part of RTD's Art-n-Transit program and is located in the center of the station's bus bay.

7310-605: Was opened and took over the southern half of the Modified Initial System . The interchange is two platforms in sequence, with an opposite-direction cross-platform interchange assigned to Prince Edward and a same-direction interchange to Mong Kok, as large volumes of traffic had been anticipated in both modes. Popular with passengers, this design was repeated on Admiralty station when the Island line in Victoria

7396-663: Was opened to deal with anticipated heavy opposite-direction interchange ridership. Years later, another interchange spanning Tiu Keng Leng station (same direction) in the New Territories and Yau Tong station (opposite direction) in New Kowloon was built to the same configuration as the earlier Mong Kok and Prince Edward interchanges. The Ma On Shan line is specifically designed to follow right-hand traffic rules (unlike other railway lines in Hong Kong), to enable
