Mount Hope, New York

Otisville station is a commuter rail stop on the Metro-North Railroad's Port Jervis Line, serving the village of Otisville, New York along with the town of Mount Hope. It is located a short distance off New York State Route 211 near the eastern village line. The station has long been among the least developed on the Metro-North system, with a shelter on the bare concrete low-level platform but no roof, and a 104-space parking lot across the street. A short distance west of the station, trains enter the 5,314-foot (1,620 m) long Otisville Tunnel under the Shawangunk Ridge, the longest in the Metro-North system and one of only two outside of the city. There is a long siding beginning just west of the station that allows trains to wait if one is coming through the tunnel. As a result, Otisville is technically a double-tracked station. When trains coming from the other direction are approaching, passengers board on the siding via a wooden platform on the tracks. Otisville station opened on November 1, 1846 as part of the extension of the New York, Lake Erie and Western Railroad (later Erie Railroad) from Middletown, which had been the terminus since May 26, 1843. This remained the case until December 31, 1847, when service was extended to Port Jervis. The station was moved to its current location in January 1954 when the Erie realigned tracks between Howells and Graham station (in Guymard) onto the Graham Line, abandoning 11 miles (18 km) of the former main line.
