Anyone seen photos of this newly-renovated station in Yonkers, NY? Sounds nice, and still used as a station.

It's a nice old station; I live less than an hour from it. Haven't been down there in years. There should be a picture of it on the NY existing stations site (see link). Yonkers has a dense railroading history; the Park Hill Incline also ran here, as did the Putnam Division of the New York Central; a personal interest of mine which I plan to incorporate into an article. The line's gingerbread-style depots date back to before 1900s. I'll try and stop by the Yonkers depot when I'm down that way.

Also in local news; the last of the New York Central ACMU-1100s are being retired from regular service. These cars have still passed through Yonkers on rush-hour trains from Harmon; and are also used up to North White Plains on the Harlem line.
