Note: The train schedule for the Metro-North Hudson line is available on-line. Select
trains leaving from either Grand Central or Marble Hill, and arriving at
Ardsley-on-Hudson.
From Columbia University:
Take the 1 train north to 225th street. As you walk down the stairs from the
elevated platform, note the location of the Metro-North Marble Hill train
station about one block to the west. The northbound train stops there hourly
about 40 minutes after the hour during non-rush hours. Take the train north to
the Ardsley-on-Hudson station and follow the directions below.
From elsewhere in Manhattan:
Go to Grand Central Station (here's a subway map). Take the
Metro-North Hudson Line train northbound. During non-rush hours, this train
leaves Grand Central hourly at 20 minutes after the hour. Get off at the
Ardsley-on-Hudson station and follow the directions below.
Once you're at Ardsley-on-Hudson...
Take the left-hand road uphill. The first paved driveway on your left (about
200 yards from the station) leads to the Nevis grounds. Keep going uphill. The
first building on the right you'll see is the old Cyclotron Building, now used
by Astrophysics and RARAF. The next building you'll see on the right as you
follow the winding road uphill is the Electronics Shop. The last building on the
left is the Particle Physics Research Building; the machine shop is on the lower
floor and the offices are on the upper floor. If you go to the top of hill, the
carriage house (shipping, receiving, and supplies) is on the right as you face
the parking lot.
