Sloatsburg station

Sloatsburg is a commuter railroad station in the eponymous village of Sloatsburg, Rockland County, New York. Located at the intersection of Municipal Plaza, Ballard Avenue and Mill Street, the station serves trains of Metro-North Railroad's Port Jervis Line, operated by NJ Transit via the latter's Main and Bergen County Lines from Hoboken Terminal in Hoboken, New Jersey to Port Jervis station in Port Jervis, New York. As the station is north of Suffern station and Hillburn Yard, the station has limited service. Sloatsburg station contains a single low-level side platform that parallels Mill Street, along with an 80-space parking lot.

Construction of the Sloatsburg station dates back to the 1830s, when the station was built along the Erie Railroad. The station served the line heading to Port Jervis northward, along with a stagecoach to Greenwood Lake three times a day. The station was populated by fishermen on their way to the lake, but has been the site of several accidents. These calamities include a derailed milk train in 1843 and a fatal accident between the train line and several mules and their owner in 1855. The station became part of Metro-North in 1983, when the service was created. The station was listed under a revitalization plan in 2005 to help serve its commuters.
