Location

Middletown–Town of Wallkill station, often just referred to as the Middletown station, is a commuter rail stop owned by Metro-North Railroad serving trains on the Port Jervis Line in the town of Wallkill, New York. The station is located in the latter municipality along the former Erie Railroad Graham Line.

Two trains end at the station on weekdays, with one of them turning back for service to Hoboken. The station contains a mini-high platform for access by passengers in wheelchairs, and expanded paid parking. In a switch from the other stations to receive these amenities, the platform roof at Middletown is green rather than red, platform light poles are brown instead of green and the wheelchair platform is not under the roof. While other Metro-North stations such as Cortlandt and Southeast are named after the towns in which they are located, the station is the only one to include "Town of ..." in its official name, to avoid longstanding confusion with the nearby hamlet in Ulster County.
