RE: (erielack) Sparkill NY station

As far as I know, Conrail as such never ran on the Piermont Branch to
Sparkill because the line was abandoned before Conrail was formed.  Conrail
did run on the Piermont Branch between Suffern and Spring Valley, and today
NS runs on either end up to Tallman and in Spring Valley though not in the
middle.   Hopefully a more veteran Rockland person can answer this.  From
what I have been told, service on the branch basically stopped in the late
60's early 70's in that area and a lot of the track was ripped up around
that time.  There is still a station, I believe it is a freight station, in
the area of NY 340 in Sparkill, not far from St. Thomas Aquinas College
headed towards Piermont.

Does anyone here know when the Sparkill NY station was demolished? and when
the last Conrail local freight was to service that portion of the line was?
thanks in advance
