New Hamburg station is a commuter rail stop on the Metro-North Railroad's Hudson Line, serving Wappingers Falls, New York.

The stops were initially supposed to be closed on April 29, but the date was pushed back to May 9 due to a 90-day freeze imposed by Congress on the status of railroad crews.

This change was opposed by a group of New Hamburg commuters led by Frank Lucas,[7] who attested that the station's usage was 15 to 20 daily passengers, not the 2 indicated by PC figures.

Its proposal entailed the installation of new platforms, lighting, and parking for 100 cars, and the construction of a pedestrian overpass to replace the tunnel, which was boarded up due to flooding.

[15] In April 1980, the MTA agreed to pay for the remainder of the station work if the County provided $15,000 for the parking lot.

[16] In April 1980, the Dutchess County Legislature appropriated $3,000 to reopen the station, with an additional $15,000 to pave the parking lot, provide lighting and repair the tunnel under the tracks.

[17] That month, County Legislator Joseph Poillucci requested that the station be reopened after receiving a petition signed by 800 people from the Sackelos' citizens group.

Poillucci expected 200 daily passengers for the station who drive to Poughkeepsie or Beacon to catch the train.

The station reopened on October 17, 1981, after the MTA took over the line after efforts led by New Hamburg resident Lois Sackelos, and County Legislator Joseph Poillucci.

[20][21] The reopening of the station was appreciated by commuters, but not with all local residents, who believed that it was hurting the town's character as noise, traffic and litter increased.

[23] On July 12, 1988, Metro-North announced plans to build 80 new parking spaces around the station for $140,000 so the lot could accommodate 360 cars.

[27] On March 22, 1994, Metro-North agreed to add more parking at the station after local officials threatened to delay $954 in railroad improvements.
