PORT JERVIS – The new Port Jervis train station has been completed, bringing the facility at the beginning of the Metro-North line up to modern standards.
Metro-North Railroad President Cathy Rinaldi said the project includes several new amenities.
“It is a high-level platform. It is fully ADA accessible. There is a shelter with absolutely beautiful artwork that commemorates the history of Port Jervis. There are LCD screens. There are all of the amenities that are part of our new station standards,” she said.
Mayor Kelly Decker is thrilled with the long-overdue upgrades.
“We are not the end of the line; we are at the beginning of the line. It brings our people down to work in the New York City area where they need to be as well as bringing people to Port Jervis to see the changes that are here. They are bringing their bikes to go on the hiking and biking trails,” he said.
Orange County Executive Steven Neuhaus said the new facilities “will make the city even more accessible for travelers from throughout the region.”
