Tenmile River station

Tenmile River station (formerly State School station) is a commuter rail stop on the Metro-North Railroad's Harlem Line, located in Amenia, New York.

Contents

The station is located on Sinpatch Road (Dutchess CR 5), next to the crossing of the creek, a short distance east of NY 22/343. Tenmile River is named for the waterway of the same name adjacent to the station as well as north of the grade crossing with Sinpatch Road, and is in nearly the same spot as the State School station (named for a nearby institution for the developmentally disabled, now Taconic Developmental Center) which was closed with Penn Central's abandonment of passenger service north of Dover Plains in 1972.

History

The station was re-opened with the Wassaic train station on July 9, 2000. [2] Passenger service was initially abandoned north of Dover Plains by Penn Central in 1972, [3] though the line remained in use for freight.

Station layout

The station has one two-car-long high-level side platform to the east of the track. [4] :16 Unusually, the MTA has placed identifying signage on concrete pilings opposite the platform to complement the signs on the platform itself. [5]
