Mount Pleasant station is a commuter rail stop on the Metro-North Railroad's Harlem Line, serving the town of Mount Pleasant, New York. It serves two adjacent cemeteries, Gate of Heaven and Kensico, the latter of which had its own station until the mid-1980s. There is one train in each direction on weekdays and three trains in each direction on weekends. The station exists largely to serve visitors of those buried in the cemetery, in turn there is no parking available at the station and it is not intended as a commuter station.
The station is located in the Zone 5 Metro-North fare zone.
On February 3, 2015, the Valhalla train crash occurred south of the station, in which a Metro-North train crashed into a Mercedes-Benz SUV at Commerce Street near the Taconic State Parkway. The crash caused 6 deaths and at least 15 injuries, including 7 serious injuries.
The station is the least used station on Metro-North, with only 13 passengers per week in 2018.
