Great train station, beautiful , clean and next to Mahoney’s (pictures in this review ) express to the city of going to Canada- this is it!

Many reviewers mention the historic beauty of the station and it is aesthetically pleasing but very dated in amenities for being the last stop on the Hudson line (or first, depending on your direction of travel) for metro north as well as an Amtrak station. It is large and serves many customers, so it has the proper capacity. It has restroom facilities, though the restrooms - and station as a whole - are usually not as clean as they could be. No snack bar, a lot of vending machines that eat your money and don’t work. It can have a lot of sketchy people around at various times as well. In winter it is just as cold as the outdoors. On the positive side, lots of parking, and nearby restaurant/pub within walking distance if you really need food and shelter.

This is a small train station with historic significance in this small town of Poughkeepsie. Old, but somewhat renovated, a building serves a good number of trains every day.
3 tracks with narrow platforms and a paid parking facility complete the user experience.

Very scenic train ride up the Hudson River. You'll feel like you're on holiday. :)
You can walk over to the Walkway Over the Hudson from this station. Great way to spend an afternoon.

This is my go to train station for years when I do my treks down to the city and elsewhere. Convenient parking (cheap too!) and track number layouts. There are both stairs and elevators that lead to the tracks. Bummed the little convenient stand in the lobby is no longer there. One of the casualties of the pandemic I guess. I always admire the architecture and lighting throughout the building and always look forward coming here. It's also safe and well lit. Both workers and the police patrol the station various times of the day.
