The station has two side platforms, each ten cars long, serving the outer tracks of the four-track line.

Beginning on July 1, 1928, Rye became the northeastern terminus of the New Haven Railroad's affiliate, the New York, Westchester and Boston Railway, on a separate platform from the rest of the station.

Due to the railroad's continuous financial despair throughout the 1970s, they were forced to turn over their commuter service to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

For many years, Rye was the eastern Westchester County station for Amtrak,[8] with trains such as the Connecticut Yankee and Mail Express.

[9] MTA transferred the station to Metro-North in 1983, and Amtrak moved to New Rochelle in October 1987.
