is the Mapquest page for Nyack.  Note DEPOT PLACE one block west of South
Broadway (US 9W) just below the center of the map.  This apparently went
to the station from the south.

http://terraserver.microsoft.com/image.aspx?T=1&S=10&Z=18&X=2953&Y=22746&W=1

is the Terraserver satellite view of Nyack at closest resolution.  The
building in the center is a shopping mall facing Main Street.  The station
was a block or two south of there.  Depot Place begins three blocks south
of the mall (scroll the map down).

Some years ago I found the right-of-way leading south from town.  IIRC, it
is on the east side of Franklin Street, one block west of Depot Place.  It
crosses the NY Thruway on its own bridges just east of the northbound
lanes of US 9W and continues south from there.  AFAIK it is a public
trail.

The depot is long gone, from what I've read, and I don't see anything that
looks 'train station' on the overhead view.
