History
Cortlandt is the second newest station on the Hudson Line (and seventh-newest on the Metro-North system). The station replaced the low-level Montrose and Crugers stations at a point midway between them on June 30, 1996.<ref name=cortlandtopen>Template:Cite news</ref> Those stations were replaced as part of the last stage of expanding the Hudson Line to six-car high-level platforms. They could not be extended because of the curvature of their platforms.<ref name=":0">Template:Cite book</ref>Template:Rp Cortlandt is the first station north of Croton–Harmon, where electrification begins southbound.
On February 15, 2012, Metro-North completed the expansion project of the station. The new facility includes an overpass extension that ties the original station east of the tracks with a new entrance on the west side off NY 9A near the VA Hospital, new parking and a landscaped, canopy-covered, intermodal drop-off plaza. The new overpass has a spacious, heated waiting area with numerous benches and a coffee concession.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
