Tuscarora Forgotten Station No. 4 / Wingdale Consolidated Rail Corporation Harlem Line Wingdale Station Abandoned: October 29, 1977 Once upon a time there were two train stations in Wingdale, New York. The first of these travelling from Grand Central Terminal was called “State Hospital” located at milepost 69. The second was “Wingdale” itself at milepost 69.08.
