Manitou is one of two stations on the Hudson Line (along with Breakneck Ridge) that receives limited passenger service. 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.
Platform and track configuration
This station has two low-level side platforms each long enough for just one door of one car to receive and discharge passengers. The western platform, adjacent to Track 2, is generally used by southbound or inbound or Manhattan-bound trains. The eastern platform, adjacent to Track 1, is generally used by northbound or outbound trains. The Hudson Line has two tracks at this location. Trains travel between 60 and 90 MPH through this area.[citation needed]
