The Port Jervis station is a disused train station at the corner of Jersey Avenue and Fowler Street in Port Jervis, New York. It was built in 1892 as a passenger station for the Erie Railroad by Grattan & Jennings in the Queen Anne style. For years it was the busiest passenger station on the railroad's Delaware Branch because Port Jervis is along the Delaware River near the tripoint of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. The long-distance passenger trains Erie Limited and the Lake Cities between Chicago and Hoboken served this station. [5]
The decline in passenger rail traffic in the mid-20th century, after many people had switched to automobile travel on the federally subsidized highways, resulted in the termination of passenger service between Port Jervis and Binghamton in 1970. Local commuter service to Hoboken was taken over by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Metro-North Railroad shortly thereafter. Rather than using the Erie Depot, Metro-North built a minimalist station of its own. It had a parking lot for passengers' cars, a shelter, and a street-level concrete platform.[ citation needed ]
The original station declined in condition (along with the city). It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 as the Erie Railroad Station. Since then it has been renovated. It houses several small shops on the street side.[ citation needed ]

The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad, also known as the DL&W or Lackawanna Railroad, was a U.S. Class 1 railroad that connected Buffalo, New York, and Hoboken, New Jersey, and by ferry with New York City, a distance of 395 miles (636 km). The railroad was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1853, and created primarily to provide a means of transport of anthracite coal from the Coal Region in Northeast Pennsylvania to large coal markets in New York City. The railroad gradually expanded both east and west, and eventually linked Buffalo with New York City.

The station was abandoned in 1958 and demolished in 1961. The site was eventually redeveloped into the Newport district in the late 20th century.
