services=The small Breakneck Ridge Metro-North Railroad station serves hikers and campers traveling to and from Breakneck Ridge, near Beacon, New York, via the Hudson Line. Trains stop there on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays only. It is served by two trains (as of the April 6, 2008 timetable) each way; two to Poughkeepsie in the morning, and two to Grand Central Terminal in the evening, and then only as a flag stop. It is 55 miles (89 km) from Grand Central Terminal and travel time to Grand Central is approximately one hour, 29 minutes.
It is discreetly located off NY 9D, with only one sign (on the east side of the track), merely a small path leading to the overpass and then down to the tracks about a half-mile (1 km) north of the main parking area for the Breakneck Ridge hiking trail. There is only a very small wooden platform to provide access to the trains. Due to the intimacy it offers with the tracks and the passing Amtrak and Metro-North trains, as well as the striking scenery, it is a popular place for railfans to practice their hobby.
