A blast from the past I have been using as a wallpaper ever since I captured the image. It's a sunrise over Lake Erie in May of 2014.

Aconsejo ver la fotografia, con el fondo negro, es como mejor se aprecia la calidad.

Here's the flip side view since I was here, even if this is a crappy high sun image shot through the glass of the pedestrian overpass.
Weekends on the Hudson Line are a bit quieter but still afford plenty of trains. Having gotten my fill of Dobbs on Friday, after breakfast and coffee Saturday morning and a long walk along the Old Croton Aqueduct I finally decided to head out to explore some other nearby stations.
Just over a mile to the north is Ardsley-on-Hudson, a relatively lightly patronized station serving Mercy College and the Hudson House Apartment complex which sits on land once occupied by the grand Ardsley Casino Clubhouse. A reminder of that long lost structure is the circa 1896 Tudor style depot built to serve it which still stands as a relic of the gilded age and a distinct link to the past which you can learn more about here:

Twelve minutes after Amtrak 283 passed Metro North train 8734 passed on Main 3 on the normal outbound side due to track workers having Main 4 OOS. This is a limited stop inbound from Croton-Harmon making a 1 hr 2 min trip to Grand Central Terminal using a diesel set consisting of seven cars (various models of Bombardier 'Shoreliner' coaches of which MN operates 133 in east of Hudson service) shoved by MNCR 228, a GE P32AC-DM blt. Sep. 2001 and one of four owned by ConnDOT (out of 31 total on the roster) delivered in this New Haven McGinnis scheme.
Ardsley is MP 21.7 as measured from Grand Central Terminal on modern day Metro North's Hudson Line, the four track former New York Central water level route which traces its history here back to 1849. In 1913 the NYC installed third rail electrification through here as far as Harmon, 33 miles north, a system that remains to this day.
Today this route is astonishingly busy with over 150 MNCW trains passing this point on weekdays with electric MUs operating as far as Croton-Harmon and diesel powered trains to Poughkeepsie, 73 miles north. In addition another 22 Amtrak trains pass to and from points as far flung as Burlington, VT, Montreal and Toronto in Canada, and Chicago. Lastly rounding out the parade is a nightly CSXT road freight between Selkirk Yard near Albany and Oak Point Yard in the Bronx.
This station offers a wonderful vantage point as the waters of the Hudson lap right up beneath the inbound platform which affords a splendid view in both directions. Down river can be seen the skyline of mid town Manhattan twenty miles distant while looking the other way upriver is the impressive Tappan Zee Bridge (officially the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge), a graceful cable stayed span more than theee miles long!
