Harriman station serves as a commuter rail facility operated by Metro-North Railroad on the Port Jervis Line. It provides transit access to residents of the village of Harriman, New York, as well as the town and village of Monroe and the town of Woodbury, all located within Orange County, New York. Formerly referred to as "Newburgh Junction," this location was historically significant as the point where the Erie Railroad's mainline split from the Newburgh Shortcut and subsequently the Graham Line. While the mainline was discontinued in 1983, the wye configuration remains preserved.

Station layout

This station comprises two tracks accompanied by a low-level side platform, which is connected via a walkway to a siding track. The siding itself is not directly connected to the adjacent bypass track; however, a switch exists near Newburgh Junction just north of the station. To accommodate commuters, there is an extensive parking facility offering 986 spaces, benefiting from its convenient location near the New York State Thruway, Route 17, and the nearby Woodbury Commons shopping center. Additionally, a shuttle bus service operates on weekends exclusively between the station and the outlet mall.
