Clean with beautiful architecture and views of the river. Whould be nice if the waiting areas wasn't locked.... or if ther were benches. Elevator to the platform. Some interesting plaques to read if you have sone time... abd a local pamphlet Rack of tourist materials. Now about that elevator....
Platforms look nice. Has electronic trains schedules that are color coded. Metro North Green. Amtrak Blue. Shows track that trains stopping, Destinations and Status. Very helpful. There is also a board with the full train schedules. Waiting areas have roof and there are also three inclosed areas for really bad weather. Very helpful :-)
An important historic landmark, telltale of things past, the Yonkers Station is a very busy station as it also serves as a hub for AMTRAK and I recommend seriously being very aware of your sorroundings.
Whether entering or exiting the station on your way to and from the platforms, the stairs are quite steep and not terribly well lit. I did not noticed any surveillance equipment.
There are elevators but use your common sense getting into them.
Otherwise, the platforms are relatively clean considering... and they have Departure Boards, soda/snacks vending machines etc.
Yonkers Railroad Station is on the mark.
The only thing that needs is an upgrade to a 24 hour police and security watch on the premises, expand arrival and departure boards at the waiting area, fresh clean restroom needed as well and convert it to a transit center. Because anything is possible to make things better and easier at this station. And one more thing if this station can expand the waiting area and clerk-booth at all times around the clock, that will be great.
Not bad for Yonkers. Just know where ur going, stay focused and you'll be fine!
