The HR&PC is now part of the Hell Gate Line section of Amtrak's high-speed Northeast Corridor.

At the time, New Rochelle was the final railroad station when traveling from Connecticut before entering New York City.

The New York, Westchester and Boston Railway commuter rail line opened in 1912, paralleling the HR&PC just to the west, south of the crossing of the Bronx River.

This allowed NYNH&H trains to run over the HR&PC and into New York Penn Station, though most continued to serve Grand Central Terminal until Amtrak took over intercity operations in 1971.

The HR&PC was ultimately sold to Amtrak and is now part of their Northeast Corridor used by its high-speed Acela Express.
