Garrison station (Metro-North)

Garrison station is a commuter rail stop on the Metro-North Railroad's Hudson Line, located in Philipstown, New York.

Rail service in Garrison can be traced as far back as the 1850s with the Hudson River Railroad.

On October 24, 1897, the Garrison train crash occurred 1.75-mile (2.82 km) south of the station at Kings Dock, resulting in 19 deaths (mostly from drowning) and hundreds of injuries.

In April 1945, the station was a stop on the funeral train of Franklin D. Roosevelt, where West Pointers could pay tribute to the dead president as his body was transported to Hyde Park.

The former station house became a contributing property to the Garrison Landing Historic District in 1982, and has been the headquarters of the Philipstown Depot Theatre since 1996.
