The Croton Falls Metro-North Railroad station serves the residents of North Salem, New York and surrounding communities via the Harlem Line. It is 47.7 miles (77 km) from Grand Central Terminal and the average travel time to Grand Central is 1 hour, 16 minutes.

This station is located in the Zone 7 Metro-North fare zone on the Harlem Line.

The station, the northernmost on the line in Westchester County, is not far from the Putnam County line. Putnam runs a shuttle to the station for commuters closer to its location than those of Brewster and Southeast stations. While Interstate 684 is further away from the station than at Purdy's and Golden's Bridge, the next two stations to the south, it is a short drive away via Hardscrabble Road (Exit 8).

It is somewhat smaller than some of the other stations on the line, located on the hamlet's main street. Only four cars can platform at Croton Falls. Service to Manhattan is provided approximately every 15–30 minutes during peak hours and approximately every hour during off-peak hours. Some parking is located at the station with more spaces available a short walk away.

Platform and track configuration

This station has one four-car-long high-level island platform serving trains in both directions. The Harlem Line has two tracks at this location.
