The Mount Pleasant Metro-North Railroad station serves two adjacent cemeteries (Gate of Heaven and Kensico, the latter of which had its own station until the mid-1980s) and an adjacent funeral home in Hawthorne, New York via the Harlem Line. Trains only stop on weekends approximately three times a day. Weekday service was discontinued completely by 1984.^[1] The station exists largely for visitors of those buried in the cemetery, in turn there is no parking available at this station and it is not intended as a commuter station.

This station is located in the Zone 5 Metro-North fare zone.

Platform and track configuration

This station has two offset high-level side platforms, each about 50 feet long. They are accessible to only one door of a train. When trains stop here, usually the first or last car receives and discharges passengers. The western platform, adjacent to Track 2, is usually used by southbound or Manhattan-bound trains. The eastern platform, adjacent to Track 1, is usually used by northbound or outbound trains. The Harlem Line has two tracks at this location.
