I used to live just up the street from that station. On saturday mornings my brothers, my Dad, and I would walk down to the station and see the trains

I don’t actually own the book, just saw it cited for on wikipedia for that particular date. I don’t particularly trust much on that site – even if it is supposedly cited :P

In reply to Emily. Quite welcome. However, just point out, that Erie Railroad Facilities book is accurate becomes it comes from the 1920 ICC Valuation Report submitted.

In reply to Adam Moss. I noticed that there were a lot of conflicting dates (that Erie facilities book, vs the Historical Society), which is why I attempted to be vague. Thanks for clearing that up!

I need to make a correction that the SHS had wrong believe it or not.

The tall brick portion seen in the original photo survived into the 1970s. (1971 to be specific of a photo I have offline of it). The rest of the building was removed.

Sloatsburg station was constructed in 1868 as an Erie Type VIa (6A) structure.
