Chelsea was a railroad station in Dutchess County, New York on the New York Central Railroad Main Line. It served the community of Chelsea, NY, a hamlet in Dutchess County, New York and the surrounding areas until 1973, when it was closed by Penn Central Transportation Company due to low ridership.
History
[edit]On December 31, 1849, the Hudson River Railroad began service from New York City to Albany, NY, with the Chelsea station located between Beacon station and New Hamburg station.[1]
The station eventually became a flag stop. On July 2, 1973, the station was closed due to low ridership along with Oscawana, Dutchess, New Hamburg, and Manitou, the other flag stations on the line.[2]
