Port Jervis station functions as a commuter rail terminal managed by Metro-North Railroad on the Port Jervis Line, marking the line's western endpoint. Situated in the heart of downtown Port Jervis, New York, close to both US 6 and 209, it stands as the Metro-North system’s furthest station to the west. Its location near the Delaware River crossing into Matamoras, Pennsylvania and its vicinity to northwestern New Jersey make it a popular boarding point for commuters from these neighboring regions.
Station layout
This station is equipped with a brief concrete platform, a shelter for passengers, ticket vending machines, and timetable postings. Upgrades finalized in 2021 introduced a new high-level platform, which opened on August 10, followed by an official ribbon-cutting event on October 4.
There is substantial parking available adjacent to a rail yard located beyond the station premises. Although passenger trains terminate here, freight operations continue further upriver along the tracks. The location preserves historical elements from its era as an Erie Railroad division hub, including a functional turntable utilized for excursion train operations and an EMD E8A locomotive No. 833 adorned in original Erie Railroad livery.
Consisting of two tracks and a high-level side platform, the station connects to bypass tracks via a walkway, improving both operational efficiency and commuter accessibility.
Erie Depot
Located a short distance away is the Erie Depot, which served as Port Jervis’s main passenger terminal throughout much of the 20th century. Constructed by the Erie Railroad in 1892 amid ongoing service to Binghamton, it remained in use until the mid-1970s. After redevelopment in 1982, the building now accommodates medical offices and small retail establishments.
