Location

Purdy's station is acommuter rail stop on theMetro-North Railroad'sHarlem Line, located inNorth Salem, New York.

In 1847, Issac Hart Purdy agreed to allow theNew York and Harlem Railroad to build their main line through the community for one dollar upon the condition that they establish a station within the community for both passengers and freight. NY&H was acquired byNew York Central and Hudson River Railroad in 1864. The decline of the railroads after World War II threatened the very survival of the station until a descendant of Purdy drove to New York City with a copy of the original contract in order to thwart a potential closing in 1955.^[4] At some point, a smaller station house was built along the southbound track which still survives to this day.^[5][6]

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 which made it part of Metro-North in 1983.

Work on adding an elevator began in 2022 and was completed in 2024.^[7][8]

The station has one eight-car-long high-levelisland platform serving trains in both directions.^[9]: 13
