Metro North Railway has confirmed that a "male trespasser" was hit by a northbound train just north of Hartsdale Station on Sunday afternoon May 21 at 2:24 pm. The train was passing through Hartsdale station without stopping. Police have currently closed the parking area on the east side of the tracks and appear to be in the process of removing the body from the track and conducting an investigation.
As of 4:38 pm one track at the station was closed. However, north and southbound trains are using a single track. There are 10-15 minute delays.
MTA Press Officer Sham Tarek could not confirm what time the track would re-open. He said that investigations usually take 24-48 hours. At this point the cause of the accident and the identity of the victim are unknown.
