Pearl River station serves as a commuter rail stop in Pearl River, New York, positioned on the Pascack Valley Line. Situated at 35 South Main Street, nestled between West Central and Jefferson Avenues, it represents the final New York station when traveling from Spring Valley en route to Hoboken Terminal.
History
The property for this station was generously provided by Julius Braunsdorf, a local businessman who prevailed in litigation against the Singer Corporation. Braunsdorf was instrumental in establishing Central Avenue, the community’s post office, and the railroad depot. Initially called Muddy Brook, he suggested renaming the settlement after the pearls discovered in the nearby river. Braunsdorf originally constructed two separate buildings at Pearl River, which were later combined into a single facility following 1880.
Station layout
This station comprises a single track accompanied by a low-level side platform. Parking is available through a permit system overseen by LAZ Parking, consistent with many Metro-North locations east of the Hudson River, providing space for 170 vehicles.
