Campbell Hall station serves as a commuter rail stop managed by Metro-North Railroad on the Port Jervis Line. It is positioned just to the south of the hamlet of Campbell Hall, New York, within the boundaries of the town of Hamptonburgh. The station is located at the terminus of Watkins Road, which branches off Egbertson Road (County Route 77). Notable features include ornamental lighting, an extended platform canopy, and an elevated mini-high platform on the eastern side to accommodate wheelchair users. Parking availability is controlled through permit and meter systems.
This location corresponds to the former MQ Crossing, historically known as the junction between the Erie Railroad's Graham Line—a freight-exclusive route bypassing Middletown—and the Montgomery Branch, which extended southward to Goshen and northward to Montgomery. The initial Campbell Hall station was situated along the Montgomery Branch near NY 207. The current station commenced operations on April 18, 1983, coinciding with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's decision to shift service from the Erie Railroad main line onto the Graham Line.
Station layout
The facility includes two tracks accompanied by a low-level side platform, which connects via a walkway to the bypass track. It occupies a historically significant junction where the Erie’s Montgomery Branch intersects with the Graham Line. Additionally, the former Wallkill Valley Railroad linked to this mainline through an operational wye. Freight services in this area are provided by the Middletown and New Jersey Railroad, which serves clients in Maybrook, Montgomery, and Walden. This arrangement followed their acquisition of local freight operations from Norfolk Southern in August 2020. Adjacent to and just west of the station lies a modest freight yard containing stored rolling stock.
