The Crestwood Metro-North Railroad station serves the residents of Crestwood, NY, which is in the city of Yonkers and the residents of the northern part of Tuckahoe, Westchester County, New York via the Harlem Line. It is 16.7 miles (26.9 km) from Grand Central Terminal. Crestwood is the northernmost station at a three-track section of line which ends north of the station, which gives the station the distinction of serving as a northern terminal for many trains during rush hours.

The Harlem Line of the Metro-North commuter railroad runs along the Bronx River and has two stops in the Village of Tuckahoe. Since both stations could not be named "Tuckahoe," the southern station down by the Village Hall is named "Tuckahoe" for the area east of the station, and the northern station "Crestwood" for the area to the west, in Yonkers. This leads many Tuckahoe residents to refer to northern Tuckahoe as "Crestwood." The Crestwood station is located in Tuckahoe however its name comes from the Crestwood section of Yonkers which lies directly across the Bronx River from the station, and has its own entrance on the west side of the station for the residents of Crestwood.

As of August 2006, daily commuter ridership was 1,596, and there are 283 parking spots [1]

This station is the first/last station in the Zone 3 Metro-North fare zone.

The Crestwood railroad station is depicted in the painting "Commuter" by Norman Rockwell and was featured on the cover of the November 16, 1946 edition of the Saturday Evening Post.[1] In Norman Rockwell's depiction, you can see commuters approaching from the Crestwood side of the station.
