The Goldens Bridge Metro-North Railroad station serves the residents of Goldens Bridge, New York via the Harlem Line. It is 43.7 miles (70.3 km) from Grand Central Terminal and the average travel time to Grand Central is one hour, nine minutes. The station is located adjacent to Interstate 684 and is accessible to northbound travelers via Exit 6A (Routes 22 / 138).
This station is the northernmost station in the Zone 6 Metro-North fare zone.
Parking lots are available on both sides of the interstate; a parking permit or a daily fee is required. Metered parking fills up around 7:30 every morning on business days. Free parking is available on weekends and holidays.
From trains in the vicinity of the station, it is possible to see the historic Bridge L-158 over Muscoot Reservoir. Once part of the railroad's Mahopac Branch, it is the only double-intersection Whipple truss rail bridge left in the state. The station was also at one time intended to be the western terminus of the unfinished Danbury and Harlem Traction Company, a trolley line intended to connect the station to Danbury, Connecticut.
This station has one eight-car-long high-level island platform serving trains in both directions.
