Wassaic station, in the Town of Amenia, is where the Harlem Line stops. That makes its parking different from every other station lot in the region — and it changes who ends up stranded there.
What a terminus means
Wassaic recorded 241 weekday riders in 2018 with 342 parking spaces, fee and permit, run by the MTA.
Those numbers look small next to Beacon or Brewster. The distinction is where the drivers come from.
A terminus lot collects everyone north and east of it who wants a train. That includes drivers from further up the Harlem Valley, from western Connecticut, and from the Massachusetts border country — people for whom Wassaic is the closest rail, sometimes by a considerable margin.
So a lockout here is frequently someone a long way from home, with no spare key within reach and no easy way to get one. The car being drivable matters more than usual, because the alternative isn’t a short taxi ride.
Terminus lots also hold cars longer. When the last train of the day has gone, a car that can’t move is staying overnight.
The second station
Amenia has another one. Tenmile River, also on the Harlem Line, recorded 36 weekday riders in 2018 with 68 spaces.
Small, but it exists — and if your car is there rather than at Wassaic, say so, because they’re not close together.

The resorts
The town has a cluster of destination properties: Troutbeck, the Silo Ridge Field Club, and the Wassaic Project in the old Maxon Mills grain elevator.
Resort and event parking means overnight and multi-day stays. A guest whose fob dies on the second morning of a weekend is someone whose car has been sitting in the cold, and whose spare is at home.
The Harlem Valley Rail Trail adds day-hiker lots on the same pattern as anywhere else.
No dealer here
Amenia has no franchised car dealership. The nearest is Ruge’s Chevrolet in Millbrook, about nine miles west, with the rest in Rhinebeck or Poughkeepsie.
For a driver at a terminus station with no working key, that’s a tow before anything else happens — which is the situation a mobile locksmith exists for.
