Middletown–Town of Wallkill station, often referred to simply as Middletown station, serves as a commuter rail stop on the Port Jervis Line operated by Metro-North Railroad. Situated in Wallkill within Orange County, New York, it lies along the historic Erie Railroad Graham Line and functions as an important hub for regional transportation.
During weekdays, two trains conclude their routes at this location, with one train making the return trip to Hoboken. The station is equipped with a mini-high platform to ensure accessibility for wheelchair users and offers expanded paid parking accommodating 750 vehicles. Distinct from other Metro-North stations, it features a green platform roof instead of the usual red, brown light poles rather than green ones, and its accessible platform remains uncovered. Additionally, the station’s name includes "Town of" to differentiate it from the nearby Wallkill hamlet located in Ulster County, a naming convention uncommon among stations named solely after their towns.
History
This station was established as a replacement for the former Erie Railroad station on James Street in Middletown, which operated from May 26, 1843, until its closure on April 15, 1983. The original station building has since been repurposed as the Thrall Library. The current Middletown–Town of Wallkill station commenced operations on April 18, 1983.
Station layout
The facility consists of a single track accompanied by a low-level side platform.
