Ludlow
Home<New York Area<Metro-North<Ludlow
Ludlow is the first stop above the New York City line. It is located in southern Yonkers in an industrial area. The river can't be scene anywhere from the platform, instead smoke stacks and chemical tanks are between the station and the river. The station is one of the few on the Hudson Line that uses the services of a local street to provide a bridge between the two tracks. The stations two ticket machines are located in a shelter on the sidewalk on Ludlow St that crosses the tracks just north of the station platforms. The New York-bound platform can only be accessed from a staircase down the Ludlow Street. The staircase down from Ludlow street on the Poughkeepsie bound platform leads to small parking lot and then the station platform. Both platforms have an unusual feature of the staircases from this overpass of sorts goes down to track level and there is about thirty feet of area where there's a long and narrow passageway at track level, with a low fence prohibiting people from walking onto the tracks. This area (on the northbound platform is along the small parking lot) leads to the ADA compliant gradual ramp up to the each of the narrow side platforms, which are full length that have canopies and the digital information signs towards their southern ends.
