The Tappan Zee Bridge is not far from the station, resulting in its use by Rockland County commuters.

The station was forrmely served by the Tappan Zee Express, which was discontinued in 2018.[6] Historically, the station was connected to other Westchester County communities via a trolley.[7]
History[edit]The Tarrytown station was first used by commuters in 1890.[8] The original station building, which also served as the terminus of John D. Rockefeller's private telegraph wire to his home in Pocantico Hills,[9] was destroyed in a fire caused by a cigarette in April 1922.[10] Plans for a new station were completed three years later in October 1925.[11] Almost 120 years after the station first went into use, an announcement was made in November 2007 concerning a large scale refurbishment of the station as part of the second phase of MTA's Capital Program. The renovated building will include a ticket agent and waiting area, new heated overpasses, stairways and elevators as well as new platforms. Metro-North has set aside $3.5 million for the project with the expectation that design work would be completed by the second quarter of 2008.[12] Work at the Tarrytown station began in October 2009 and was completed, under budget and on schedule in 2012.[13] [14] In March 2020, a bakery named The Bakehouse of Tarrytown opened inside the former station building.[15] [16]
