History

[edit]

Larchmont station was originally built by the New York and New Haven Railroad. It was rebuilt by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad twice during the 20th century: first in the 1920s in order to facilitate a separate New York, Westchester and Boston Railway station,[3] and again in 1959–1960 for construction of the New England Thruway.[4][5][6]
