Pearl River station is an active commuter railroad station in the hamlet of Pearl River, located in the town of Orangetown, Rockland County, New York. Located at Station Plaza between South Main Street and Railroad Avenue, Pearl River station serves trains of Metro-North Railroad's Pascack Valley Line, operated under contract by NJ Transit between Spring Valley station in the eponymous Spring Valley, New York to Hoboken Terminal in Hoboken, New Jersey, where connection is available to Manhattan. Pearl River is a single low-level side platform station, with no accessibility for the handicapped. The station has a 351-space parking lot at Jefferson Avenue. The Erie Railroad-built station depot at Pearl River currently serves as a restaurant.
Railroad service in what is now Pearl River began on May 27, 1871 with the opening of the Hackensack and New York Extension Railroad from Hillsdale, New Jersey to nearby Nanuet, where connection was made with the Erie Railroad's Piermont Branch.
