The Peekskill Metro-North Railroad station serves residents of Peekskill, New York via the Hudson Line. Trains leave for New York City every hour on weekdays and about every 25 minutes during rush hour. It is from Grand Central Terminal and travel time to Grand Central is approximately one hour. It is the northernmost station on the line in Westchester County.
It is just south of a grade crossing whose gates remain down as long as any northbound train is in the station. The former station building built by the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad in 1874 still stands, although it is no longer staffed.
