<P> Since the tracks continue north of Poughkeepsie, there have been various proposals over the years from both the MTA (Metro - North's parent agency) and Amtrak, to extend service northwards . Amtrak's predecessor Conrail operated commuter rail service north of Poughkeepsie to Albany - Rensselaer until 1981; since then, only Amtrak's intercity trains continue beyond Poughkeepsie . Most proposals have been scratched after strong opposition from residents of northern Dutchess County, who fear the effect on their still largely rural communities that being within an easy rail commute of midtown Manhattan would have . They feared that their small towns would become strip malls . In 1999, Metro - North proposed to extend the line 25 miles (40 km) to Tivoli or just 15 miles (24 km) to Rhinecliff . Three new stops would have been built: at Tivoli, Staatsburg and Hyde Park . Service would have also stopped at Rhinecliff, which is served by Amtrak . Parking facilities would have been built at the stations, and a yard would have been built . The Draft Environmental Impact Study for the extension, would have cost $3 million, was deemed as necessary as ridership on the northern part of the Hudson Line was growing faster than that of any other part of the system . The Towns of Milan, Red Hook and Rhinebeck and the Villages of Tivoli and Rhinebeck passed resolutions against the study . The study was not done because of significant opposition . However, Poughkeepsie - area commuters have supported such plans since they would ease pressure on that station . As recently as January 2007, supervisors of some towns north of Poughkeepsie have expressed new interest in extending rail service . </P> <P> Milepost Zero on the Hudson Line is at the north property line of 42nd St (i.e. 200--300 ft south of the ends of the tracks). The Marble Hill Cutoff shortened the line by 0.73 miles (1.17 km) circa 1906, so Yonkers station (for example) is at milepost 15.24 but is about 14.46 miles (23.27 km) from end of track at GCT . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Zone </Th> <Th> Station </Th> <Th> Miles (km) from GCT </Th> <Th> Date opened </Th> <Th> Date closed </Th> <Th> Connections / notes </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Grand Central Terminal </Td> <Td> 0.0 (0.0) </Td> <Td> October 6, 1871 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Metro - North: Harlem and New Haven lines NYC Subway: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (at Grand Central--42nd Street) NYCT Bus: M1, M2, M3, M4, M42, M101, M102, M103, Q32, X2, X5, X10, X12, X14, X22, X22A, X27, X28, X31, X37, X38, X42, X63, X64, X68 MTA Bus: BxM1, QM21 Originally Grand Central Depot, then Grand Central Station </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 59th Street </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 72nd Street </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 86th Street </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> May 15, 1876 </Td> <Td> c. 1903 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 110th Street </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> c. 1900 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Harlem--125th Street </Td> <Td> 4.2 (6.8) </Td> <Td> 1897 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Metro - North: Harlem and New Haven lines NYC Subway: ​ ​ (at 125th Street) NYCT Bus: M1 (NB), M35, M60 SBS to LGA, M98, M100, M101, Bx15 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th_colspan="6"> Manhattan / Bronx border </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 138th Street </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 1886 </Td> <Td> 1972 </Td> <Td> Also named Mott Haven and The Bronx </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="5"> Harlem / New Haven Lines diverge </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Yankees--East 153rd Street </Td> <Td> 5.9 (9.5) </Td> <Td> May 23, 2009 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Metro - North: Harlem and New Haven Lines (game days only) NYC Subway: ​ ​ (at 161st Street--Yankee Stadium) NYCT Bus: Bx6, Bx13 SeaStreak to Highlands Terminal </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Highbridge </Td> <Td> 6.7 (10.8) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Metro - North employees only, closed to passengers in the 1970s </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Morris Heights </Td> <Td> 8.1 (13.0) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> NYCT Bus: Bx18, Bx40, Bx42 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> University Heights </Td> <Td> 8.7 (14.0) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> NYCT Bus: Bx12, Bx12 SBS </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Fordham Heights </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Merged into University Heights station before 1920 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th_colspan="5"> Bronx / Manhattan border </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Marble Hill </Td> <Td> 9.8 (15.8) </Td> <Td> 1906 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> NYC Subway: (at Marble Hill--225th Street) NYCT Bus: Bx7, Bx9, Bx20 MTA Bus: BxM1 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th_colspan="5"> Manhattan / Bronx border </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Kings Bridge </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> c. 1905 </Td> <Td> Removed during 1905 - 06 realignment of Hudson Branch along the Harlem River Ship Canal </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Spuyten Duyvil </Td> <Td> 11.1 (17.9) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Hudson Rail Link: J, K, L, M Southbound platform is not accessible </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Riverdale </Td> <Td> 13.0 (20.9) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Hudson Rail Link: A, B, C, D </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Mt .
