Located at 13 Paterson–Hamburg Turnpike (County Route 511 Alternate), the station was a stop on the Greenwood Lake Division of the Erie Railroad.

Service at the station began on January 1, 1873 as part of the Montclair Railway, built for operations of the New York and Oswego Midland Railroad.

[9] Opposition was non-existent and the Board of Public Utility Commissioners allowed the Erie to eliminate the stop on July 20, 1951.

[11] After years of declining service, the Erie merged with the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad on October 17, 1960, forming the Erie-Lackawanna Railway.

The Public Utilities Commissioners held a hearing on June 11 in which the Erie Lackawanna contended that the freight revenue did not make an agent economically viable.

[16] The borough of Riverdale expressed interest in buying the depot once the Erie Lackawanna agent was discontinued.
