Millerton was a terminating point for passenger trains on the Harlem Division for many years. It was also a meeting point for the Central New England Railroad where passengers on the Harlem Line could transfer to Central New England Railway trains.
Passenger service ended at Millerton on March 22, 1972. The venerable station itself was closed permanently by the winter of 1975.[1]
Freight service continued to be provided by Penn Central Railroad until the advent of Conrail on April 1, 1976. All freight service north of Wassaic to Ghent was terminated on this date; however, the New York State Department of Transportation subsidized freight service between Millerton and Wassaic until March 27, 1980 when the line between Wassaic and Millerton was abandoned.
The tracks were removed during the summer of 1981,[2] however upon removal of tracks the railroad siding for the old Agway feed store remains in place. The station is currently used by various businesses. The Harlem Valley Rail Trail currently terminates at the railroad station, however there are plans to extend the trail as far north as Chatham, the original terminus of the NYCRR Harlem Division.
