Location

The station is on the site of MQ Crossing, the former junction of the Erie Railroad Graham Line, a then freight-only bypass of Middletown, and the railroad's Montgomery Branch, which provided service south to Goshen and north to the village of Montgomery. The former Campbell Hall station was located on the Montgomery Branch, at the crossing with NY 207. Service at the current Campbell Hall station began on April 18, 1983 when the Metropolitan Transportation Authority moved service off the former Erie Railroad main line onto the Graham Line.
