About this property
Tuxedo station is an active commuter railroad station in the town of Tuxedo, Orange County, New York. Located on the eastern side of State Route 17 south of East Village Road, the station serves trains of Metro-North Railroad's Port Jervis Line, which operates between Port Jervis station in Port Jervis, New York and Hoboken Terminal in Hoboken, New Jersey. The Port Jervis Line is operated by NJ Transit under contract with Metro-North Railroad. Tuxedo station contains a single low-level side platform and a single operating track. Tuxedo station contains a 245-station parking lot and a nearby lot for the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC). The station also serves as the western terminus of the Ramapo–Dunderberg Trail, a hiking trail through Harriman State Park. A station in the area was established in the spring of 1880 on the Erie Railroad main line on land owned by the Lorillard family, a tract of 11,000 acres (4,500 ha). This station would be named Lorillard's. In late 1885, the Lorillard family began construction of a new sportsman's park known as Tuxedo Lake. Tuxedo Lake would involve 6,000 acres (2,400 ha) in Sterling Forest for people to perform recreational activities. The station depot at Lorillard's would be replaced with a new structure that would be considered one of the better ones on the Erie Railroad.
