There is a large parking lot for residents in the Harriman vicinity and surrounding counties. This station has signs of MTA Metro-North Railroad and logo but the trains that stop here is actually NJ Transit which operates on time. There are self-service ticket machines that function 24/7. There is also a small indoor heated sheltered waiting area which is useful during inclement extreme cold and rainy weather. Not sure if there are any facilities at this rail station.

Don't know what the monthly pass costs. There's a small heated, sheltered wait area that smells and has bugs in it. Train comes on time and the ticket collectors are nice enough. I'm going to be looking into the Monroe bus park and ride as that lot is free.

There is a large seating area and vending machines for purchases. During the day there are many people going in and out of this location. During the fall it is much busier. Everyone wants to go over the bridge and see the fall panoramic views. There is a bus stop outside with people waiting to go to local stops. There are free buses which go to Poughkeepsie, Marist, New Paltz, and other locations. The free buses only come a couple times per day so make sure to time everything accordingly. At night the station is mostly empty. There are several homeless people who stay outside. After nine the seating area is closed so you have to wait outside. The trains do run until 1 am. If you miss out on the last train you have to wait until the morning for your next trip. I would have liked longer hours here but it is what it is. I will continue stopping by here when I visit Poughkeepsie.

I was appalled to see the elevator out of order at an Amtrak hub. How does that make sense when you know many people traveling on Amtrak are burdened with luggage. Add that to the fact that we just had a blizzard and navigating by foot is difficult enough The station platform was well salted, but there was nobody in sight to help the elderly with their bags. I was struggling myself with two suitcases and shopping bags from my visit to New York City. The only way from the platform to the station is up a flight of approximately 30 steps nearly straight up. Once to the top, you have to balance your suitcases so that you can pull the doors open by hand. It's regrettable that this station could be so spectacular. It was built at the turn of the 20th century I believe and could be a masterpiece. Instead, it looks like a didn't she, grungy throwback to the 70s. No place to buy a cup of coffee, no employees in sight, police are stationed outside, but there's nothing there but sad tired people This is really a shame because I love Amtrak and Amtrak should really raise their voice about how passengers are being treated at this station. It's appalling. No photographs because I was juggling so much luggage. I couldn't even get my phone out.

I live just south of Barryville and this company seems to be the only game in town. My drivers have been prompt and friendly. The cars are a little rough... But they are fine. Prices are fair and as for the woman who answers the phone when I call ... Perfectly lovely personality and not a hint of nicotine or Newports. She has drivers waiting for me when I get off the train and if there is a problem she hops right on it. Give them a try. Nothing fancy but they get the job done. A decent review is nothing without some criticism. Howard Stern having wee man being seduced by a model on the radio was awkward. Especially as I thought of my wife or any woman riding alone at night with a male cabbie. My $.02 Also be prepared for car sharing. It was fine but took me by surprise as someone hopped in the car as we were leaving. Bit of a startle but no big deal in the end.

On the train it was funny to see them punch our tickets, it was so old-school. The conductor was very friendly and the train was quite clean. Overall a good experience. My only disappointment was on the ride home, some kids snuck on the train and sat in a couple open seats where tickets had already been punched. They only rode for a couple of stops, but it was still quite dishonest. I feel like there should be a protocol for riders to take their tickets as they leave to keep this from being able to occur.

The station has no ticket agent window, you must buy your ticket from the one NJT vending machine located outside the main entrance or you can purchase your ticket via NJT app on your smartphone. The two NJT routes this station serves are the Montclair-Boonton line and the Morris & Essex line. The station is kept in decent condition and clean. It's not anything fancy and it has been over 15 years since they did their last renovation, but it serves its purpose of saving you from driving that commute to the City!

I could see it traveling farther and farther out when I looked on his Device Manager until I realized it was still on the train when it stopped in Dover. It was after business hours so I didn't know if there would be anyone there who could help. We'd already contacted lost and found. So I drove out there hoping to find someone. I drove to the deserted train yard. Knocked on some doors but nope, nobody there. Got back in my car and drove around a bit more until I saw someone about to leave in one of those small security vehicles. The only person in the area. He stopped and I told him what train he'd been on and that I saw it wasn't going out again that night and asked if there was a way to look on the train. He said he'd go up to see what track it was on and would go through the train but when he came down he had my son's phone! I'm forever grateful to this lovely man! I hope NJ Transit appreciates the care he takes in his job. Give this guy a promotion!
