Otisville station is a commuter rail stop owned by Metro-North Railroad serving trains on the Port Jervis Line, serving the village of Otisville, New York along with the town of Mount Hope. It is located a short distance off New York State Route 211 near the eastern village line.
The station has long been among the least developed on the Metro-North system, with a shelter on the bare concrete low-level platform but no roof, and a 104-space parking lot across the street. A short distance west of the station, trains enter the 5,314-foot (1,620 m) long Otisville Tunnel under the Shawangunk Ridge, the longest in the Metro-North system and one of only two outside of the city. There is a long siding beginning just west of the station that allows trains to wait if one is coming through the tunnel. As a result, Otisville is technically a double-tracked station. When trains coming from the other direction are approaching, passengers board on the siding via a wooden platform on the tracks.
