History
The
Hudson River Railroad reached Ossining on September 29, 1849,[1] opening the village up to industrial development along the waterfront and allowing farmers inland to ship their produce to the markets of New York City. Among the riverside industrial concerns benefiting from the railroad were the marble quarries at Sing Sing Prison, Benjamin Brandreth's pill factory
(still extant a short distance up the river) and others. These businesses gradually supplanted the boat builders and docks that had occupied the riverfront in the early 19th century.
Originally the station building was at grade level. In 1914 the
New York Waterways used the station as the eastern port for the Haverstraw–Ossining Pedestrian Ferry
creating a link between the station and Central Rockland County.
