Glenwood is Metro-North Station in Yonkers known for the abandoned Yonkers Power Station between the station and the river. This power plant, a large brick building with tall smokestacks was built in 1907 for the electrification of the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad and has been abandoned since 1963. Construction has begun to conserve the power plant and turn it into an arts focused event complex like the Park Avenue Armory, while preserving the industrial feel, including the floor mounted rotaries [1]. Otherwise the stop is relatively minor since it lacks parking and serves just the surrounding area that is primarily apartment buildings. The Hudson River Museum in a former mansion is nearby and the platform signs have this has an attraction name. Base off-peak train service to the station is only hourly.

For trains, the station has two side platforms along the four-track line, each can accommodate 8 cars. These are slightly offset from each other for about two cars with the New York-bound platform north of the other. The station is accessed only at the foot of Glenwood Avenue at dead end with a small turnaround loop about 10 feet above the train tracks. Here there is a small brick historic station house only accessible from the street's turnaround loop and currently locked up and used by Metro-North it seems for storage or is under restoration. Looking inside are pallets of bricks. It has a Spanish tile roof. The station house is cantilevered over the northbound platform. Next to the historic station house is a short up staircase (about 15 steps) to the glassed in pedestrian bridge, and elevator with an intermediate landing for access to both platforms and down staircase adjacent to it that leads to the northbound platform. The station was renovated in the mid-2000s with the usual green as the color theme. The pedestrian bridge has a nice touch here with some bricked around windows at this end. The roof inside lined with wood (some of which has fallen off in an area) Along the bridge directly above the tracks are the station's TVMs. The bridge ends at another elevator shaft followed by a staircase down to the extreme southern end of the New York-bound platform, where a small canopy with a windscreen about two car-lengths. There is also a black enclosed shelter. The Croton-Harmon Bound platform has no cover except under the station house where it's over the platform and under the pedestrian bridge.
