The Manitou Metro-North Railroad station (pronounced Mani-tow), open part-time (one peak hour train in each direction, and two weekend trains) serves the residents of that hamlet in the southeastern corner of the Town of Philipstown in Putnam County, New York, via the Metro-North Hudson Line. It is 46 miles (74 km) from Grand Central Terminal and travel time to Grand Central is approximately one hour, 16 minutes.
It is one of two flag stops on the Hudson Line, along with Breakneck Ridge. Like that station, it serves mainly hikers visiting nearby state parks in the Hudson Highlands. There is no elevated platform, and facilities at the station, one of two on the line adjacent to a grade crossing, are limited to a small shelter with the current schedule posted inside.
