Port Jervis station


Port Jervis station is a commuter rail stop owned by Metro-North Railroad serving trains on the Port Jervis Line, located in Port Jervis, New York. It is the western terminus of the Port Jervis Line.
Located slightly off US 6 and 209 in downtown Port Jervis, it is the westernmost station in the Metro-North system. It is two blocks from the bridge over the Delaware River to Matamoras, Pennsylvania, which produces some regular commuters. The northwestern tip of New Jersey, also not far away, draws riders as well.

Station layout

The station consists of a short concrete platform, a shelter, ticket machine, and a posted schedule. There are 92 parking spaces. Renovations to the station were completed and a high level platform was built and opened on August 10, 2021, with a ribbon cutting ceremony held on October 4.
The vicinity of the station contains a former Erie Railroad yard. The tracks continue upriver, but only carry freight as the Southern Tier Line. Various features of the once extensive facilities that existed here when it was a division point on the Erie can be seen, including a still-working turntable.
The station has two tracks and a high-level side platform with a pathway connecting the platform to the bypass tracks.

Erie Depot

A short distance down the tracks from the station is the Erie Depot, which served as the city's passenger station for much of the 20th century. Built by the Erie Railroad in 1892, when passenger service continued on to Binghamton, it remained in service through the mid-1970s. In 1982 it was redeveloped, and today, it houses medical offices and some small shops.
