History
Though the New York and Harlem Railroad ran through the community as far back as the late-1840s, Pawling didn't receive a passenger station until the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad built one in 1881, and continued to serve as it was incorporated into a village in 1893. As with the rest of the Harlem Division, the station became part of Penn Central Railroad upon New York Central's merger with Pennsylvania Railroad in 1968. Penn Central's continuous financial despair throughout the 1970s forced them to turn over their commuter service to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which continued through Penn Central's acquisition by Conrail in 1976. The ticket agent/office was closed in 1977. Today it is used by the local chamber of commerce.
Station layout
The station consists of a four-car-long high-level side platform to the east of the track.
