No.
Brewster, the "Town of Southeast" requested the name change. All it has done is increase confusion because no one knows that "Southeast" is a station name and not a direction of travel. But for some reason the railroad went along with it. I guess "Brewster North" was offensive to those who lived in the south end of Brewster or something.
Coming soon...
"Katonah" will become "Bedford" (no one will confuse it with Bedford Hills, right?)
"Golden's Bridge" will become "Lewisboro"
"Purdy's" will become "North Castle"
"Chappaqua" will become "New Castle" (oh boy, won't confuse those two, right?)
