Thornwood station was a stop on the

Pleasantville stations, and was merely a flag stop for four trains on weekends.[4]

History

The

Richardson Romanesque
depot was replaced with a simple brick structure.

As with most of the Harlem Line, the merger of New York Central with

Pleasantville station (1 mile north) as a replacement. The former station house, which is located where New York State Route 141 moves from Commerce Street to Franklin Avenue is now occupied by the Thornwood-Hawthorne Chamber of Commerce, which was established the year after the station was closed.[6]
