Middletown–Town of Wallkill station, often just referred to as theMiddletown station, is acommuter rail stop owned byMetro-North Railroad serving trains on thePort Jervis Line in the town ofWallkill, New York. The station is located in the latter municipality along the formerErie RailroadGraham Line.
Two trains end at the station on weekdays, with one of them turning back for service to Hoboken. The station contains amini-high platform foraccess by passengers inwheelchairs, and expanded paid parking. In a switch from the other stations to receive these amenities, the platform roof at Middletown is green rather than red, platform light poles are brown instead of green and the wheelchair platform is not under the roof. While other Metro-North stations such asCortlandt andSoutheast are named after the towns in which they are located, the station is the only one to include "Town of ..." in its official name, to avoid longstanding confusion withthe nearby hamlet inUlster County.
The station replaced the formerErie Railroadstation on James Street in Middletown, which maintained service from May 26, 1843 to April 15, 1983. That building now serves as the Thrall Library.[2][3] Middletown–Town of Wallkill station opened on April 18, 1983.[2]
The station has one track and a low-levelside platform.
