History
The station catered to a local community that had a substantial industry during the era of the NYCRR. The train station was originally opened in 1905, when the New York Central Railroad (NYCRR) operated to Chatham, New York. The line provided both passenger and freight train services.
However, with the demise of the NYCRR Passenger services in 1972, the station was closed for passengers and provided freight only services. Martindale provided commercial freight services until 1980, when the tracks north of Wassaic were dismantled. The Harlem Valley Rail Trail Association plans to extend the trail along the right-of-way in front of the site of the former station.[2]
