There's a little swamp nearby so you can see some wildlife and a beautiful View of the river. It's really down in there and there's nothing around shop wise. There's only a few residential people and private property that you can't go on. I would really hope that this station can become a big thing because it's perfect for this little area. They could easily put a few shops and a parking lot right there. All in all a great station for a photo op especially when the sunsets.

There is a large parking lot for residents in the Harriman vicinity and surrounding counties. This station has signs of MTA Metro-North Railroad and logo but the trains that stop here is actually NJ Transit which operates on time. There are self-service ticket machines that function 24/7. There is also a small indoor heated sheltered waiting area which is useful during inclement extreme cold and rainy weather. Not sure if there are any facilities at this rail station.

The station is organized well and there is decent signage for where to go to get from the platform to the parking areas. There is a connection to a ferry across the Hudson but it only runs to coincide with the morning and evening commutes. It does not run in the middle of the day, which is a bummer. There is parking here and a connection to the Beacon loop, a free local bus that drives around the town of Beacon. [Review 11485 overall, 1265 of 2019.]

I attended a beautiful wedding on Thursday in Washingtonville Ny and took the train back to Long…read moreIsland on Friday morning. I don't often get emotional at weddings (although my eyes did water for a split second... allergies I tell you... allergies!) but for some reason or another, found myself a bit in my feelings while "waiting" for train. I put that word in quotation marks because for the first time in a while, I wasn't quite counting down the minutes, as I was more-so enjoying the peace and quiet and simply being present in the moment. This train station is serene. It isn't surrounded by any stores or cafes but actually runs parallel to the hudson river, which is merely separated by a parking lot. After exploring down by the water (will write a separate review for the sloop club) and having a very pleasant conversation with a local, I purchased my ticket and made my way to the platform. I looked to the right and noticed that the platform extends to a cool little private section, where the elevator room and door is housed. I hung out there for about 30 minutes, only visible to the public eye from a certain angle in the parking lot, but I pretty much had my own little world. For 30 minutes, all of the stresses of life melted away and I felt like a kid again. I remembered the days when my dad would take my brother and I deep into Long Island (I have to ask where that was) and we'd walk on the train tracks together and watch as it flattened our pennies that we placed down. There's something about trains that are so fascinating as a kid. I even remember George Carlin on TV as Mr. Conductor, introducing me to Thomas and his friends. I could have spend the entire afternoon in that spot. For 30 minutes, I didn't check any email, look at any texts, broadcast myself on social medial. I simply shadow boxed, dangled my feet over the edge, examined rocks, stared into the distance, observed the construction workers about a half mile away and took a ton of pictures that I'll upload later today.

This is a commuter train and is nice to take and less crowded than beacon station. The reason i give this location 4 stars is because it does not go to Grand central direct. The station itself is small. There is a private parking lot which i love because you can get a spot and it has never been crowded when i have taken the train out of here. Overall. This station is convenient to go to North Jersey, Atlantic city or Penn Station. PROS: - small convenient location - NJ commuter train - Great parking lot CONS: - Does not go direct to Grand Central

After a series of shutdowns that left thousands of NJ Transit customers flailing this summer, New…read moreJersey Gov. Phil Murphy announced New Jersey commuters can ride NJ Transit buses, trains, and light rails for free through Labor Day. So, my partner and I took the advantage today by taking the train by our home at Plauderville, going north to the terminus at Port Jervis, NY, along the Bergen Line. A one-way ride on a packed train took 2 hours and 10 minutes, passing various diverse scenery from urban to rural. NJ Transit is the largest statewide public transportation system in the nation and the third-largest transit system in the country, with 166 rail stations, 62 light rail stations, and more than 19,000 bus stops connecting New Jersey, New York, and Philadelphia. Port Jervis is located in the corner of New York State, where Pennsylvania and New Jersey also meet. It's a very short, two-block walk from the station, across the Delaware River to Matamoras, Pennsylvania. The New Jersey State Line is less than 2 miles south of the station. The Port Jervis train station is a simple low-level platform located on the yard leads where trains are stored overnight and between runs.
