Suffern Station is a train station in Suffern, New York, United States, controlled by New Jersey Transit [Khurram Saeed, The Journal News, [http://lohud.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070419/NEWS03/704190414/1029/NEWS13 NJ Transit approves 10 percent fare hike] , April 19, 2007] and also used by the Metro-North Railroad. Metro-North's Port Jervis Line joins New Jersey Transit's Main Line at this station. These two lines offer service (usually one-seat) from Port Jervis to Hoboken, New Jersey and New York City via Secaucus Junction. Most trains arriving from Port Jervis and headed to New York/Hoboken during rush-hour do not make any stops between Suffern and Secaucus, though a few also stop at Ramsey Route 17 on the way. The same is true of trains coming back in the evening rush-hour.

The current station was built in 1941 by the Erie Railroad and replaced an older station near the site of the current Thruway overpass.

Travel time to Hoboken is an hour, more or less depending on whether it is an express train or not.
