Port Jervis station is a disused train station at the corner of Jersey Avenue and Fowler Street in Port Jervis, New York. It was built in 1892 as a passenger station for the Erie Railroad by Grattan & Jennings in a Queen Anne style. For years it was the busiest passenger station on the railroad's Delaware Branch, owing to Port Jervis's position on the Delaware River near where New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania converge. The long-distance passenger trains Erie Limited and the Lake Cities between Chicago and Hoboken served this station.
The decline in passenger rail traffic in the mid-20th century, after many people had switched to automobile travel on the federally subsidized highways, resulted in the termination of passenger service between Port Jervis and Binghamton in 1970. Local commuter service to Hoboken was taken over by the MTA's Metro-North Railroad shortly thereafter. Rather than using the Erie Depot, , Metro-North built a minimalist station of its own. It had a parking lot for passengers' cars, a shelter and a street-level concrete platform.
