Croton’s first railroad station was built in 1849, the year train service began between Manhattan and Peekskill. It was located on River Street (today’s Riverside Avenue) at the foot of Grand Street. At that time Grand Street (and Brook Street) ran all the way to the docks on the shore of the Hudson River.  COURTESY OF THE CROTON HIST. SOCETY FB PAGE
