Harlem Line Platform Length Map
Stations on the Harlem Line have platforms of varying length. If you are on a larger train, and are stopping at a station that has a small platform (such as Brewster and Croton Falls), you may be required to change cars in order to exit.
This map shows the order of the stations on the Harlem Line, and displays how many train cars can stop at each station. The maximum size M7 train length (eight cars) is highlighted in blue. The amount of cars on your train will differ based on time, day, and route. If you’re not sure how many cars there are, the conductor will be able to help you.

I have to say that this is really interesting! As I used to take the train out of what was then Brewster North when I was younger (I now live in Northern NY, but still on occasion ride the Harlem Line), a lot of this still rings quite the bell. On many Amtrak trains, you have to move to a different car when getting off the train, and while most Metro North stations have high level platforms, getting off an Amtrak train, in let’s say Plattsburgh (where I get on the Adirondack to NYC) boarding involves a trapdoor, steps and making sure your bag(s) don’t trip you.
BTW: wicked neat site! :)
