The Tuxedo Metro-North station serves the residents of that community and the gated village of Tuxedo Park, New York. Trains leave the station on the Port Jervis Line for Hoboken, 37 miles (59.5 km) away; travel time to that destination is approximately an hour. It is located along the north-south segment of NY 17 almost directly across from the main entrance to Tuxedo Park.

Tuxedo is the only stop along the line that retains the old station at the current station site. It was built in 1885 as one of the original Tuxedo Park buildings, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. The town of Tuxedo currently owns it, and uses it mainly as a police lockup.

Recent renovations have added some roofs to the platform but have not affected the building otherwise.
