Pelham Manor station was a train station located near where the later Interstate 95 and Amtrak's Hell Gate Line cross over Pelhamdale Avenue in Pelham Manor, New York, United States. The station opened in 1873 and was served by trains on the Harlem River Branch of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad. After passenger service along the branch was discontinued in 1930, the Cass Gilbert–designed station house was used by the Westchester Model Club and held one of the largest model railroad layouts in the nation. The building was demolished in 1955 to make way for construction of the New England Thruway. In the early 2000s, a potential new Metro-North Railroad station at Pelham Manor was evaluated as part of the Penn Station Access project but was not advanced for further study.
