History
When the New York, Lake Erie and Western Railroad was being built, local inhabitants of what later became Spring Valley requested a station at the crossing of a farming road. They suspected that Eleazar Lord preferred nearby Monsey because he owned land there. Although no official commitment for service was made, area farmers constructed a platform accompanied by a wooden shelter called Pascac by the railroad company. This shelter functioned as a retail store operated by Henry Iseman until passenger services commenced, leading to his eviction. The name "Spring Valley" was suggested by farmer Isaac Springstead, and a station sign bearing this designation was installed close by.
On October 26, 1983, the station received upgrades costing $244,500, which included new ceilings, flooring improvements, and installation of a ticket booth.
Station layout
The facility consists of one track with a single low-level side platform. Parking for 207 vehicles is available through permits administered by Allright Parking.
