Location

Patterson station is acommuter rail stop on theMetro-North Railroad'sHarlem Line, located inPatterson, New York.

It is the northernmost station on the line inPutnam County, and the first station beyond the end ofelectrification.

TheNew York and Harlem Railroad built their main line through Patterson towardsDover Plains in 1848, when Patterson station opened.^[2] NY&H was acquired by theNew York Central and Hudson River Railroad in 1864 and eventually taken over by theNew York Central Railroad. On August 3, 1952, a derailment of milk cars and other freight at the station took place, which resulted in no injuries or deaths, but nevertheless damaged the station and startled the community.^[5] As with most of the Harlem Line, the merger of New York Central withPennsylvania Railroad in 1968 transformed the station into aPenn Central Railroad station. Penn Central's continuous financial despair throughout the 1970s forced them to turn over their commuter service to theMetropolitan Transportation Authority, who eventually converted into a Metro-North station in 1983.

The station consists of a four-car-long high-levelside platform to the west of the track.^[6]: 15
