Dover Furnace was a station on the Harlem Line of the New York Central Railroad (now Metro-North Railroad). It was 72 miles (116 km) north from Grand Central Terminal in New York City. The station was located across from a freight house owned by a dairy company, and was closed at some point between 1959[2] and 1968.[3] No station structures remain at the site.[citation needed]
