Otisville station is a commuter railroad station in the town of Mount Hope, Orange County, New York. Located on Kelly Hill Road just west of the intersection with State Route 211 east of the Otisville village line, Otisville station services trains of Metro-North Railroad's Port Jervis Line between Hoboken Terminal in Hoboken, New Jersey and Port Jervis station in the eponymous Port Jervis. The service is operated by NJ Transit through contract with Metro-North Railroad. The station consists of a single low-level uncovered side platform without handicap accessibility and two parking lots (one alongside the platform and one across Kelly Hill Road) that offers 151 parking spaces. Otisville station sits east of Otisville Tunnel, a 5,314-foot (1,620 m) tunnel through Shawangunk Ridge. With the tunnel, a passenger siding exists at Otisville station to facilitate movement between trains. A wooden plankboard connects the side platform to the siding track for boarding.
The current station at Otisville opened in 1954 when the Erie Railroad moved services from their main line west of Howells to Guymard to their freight only bypass, the Graham Line.
