History


The current station at Ramsey Route 17 is located next to the Westervelt–Ackerson House on Island Road, which saw service beginning on October 19, 1848, with the opening of the Paterson and Ramapo Railroad. The train went from Paterson to Suffern, where connections were available to the Erie Railroad.[4][5] The station was known as Westervelt's. The current station opened on August 22, 2004.[2]


Station layout


The station has two tracks, each with a high-level side platform. It also has a pedestrian overpass complete with elevators, making it accessible for handicapped persons, and a quintuple-level parking structure to help serve as a park and ride.
