Bardonia was a station on the Erie Railroad in Bardonia, New York.[4] It was originally built along the New Jersey and New York Railroad's New City Branch,[5] which was later incorporated into the Erie Railroad system. Rather than construct a station at Bardonia, the railroad rented a local entrepreneur's three-story general store for $50–$60 (1916 USD).[6]
Both pedestrian and freight service ended on the New City Branch in 1939,[2] and the tracks were removed soon thereafter. The old station house remained intact near the corner of Bardonia Road and NY 304 until 2014,[7] when it was demolished and replaced by a CVS Pharmacy.
