Tannersville station (New York)
Tannersville was a train station in Tannersville, New York operated by the Ulster and Delaware Railroad. It ceased operation in 1940 and burned down in the early 1970s.
History
The original station at Tannersvile, New York, branch MP 14.6, was a lot like the Lanesville Station; a small building with a platform on each end. This station was torn down in 1899, after the Kaaterskill Railroad was standardized by the U&D in 1899. The new Tannersville station was one of the pre-fabricated stations made for the U&D in the early 1900s. This station had the typical frame of a U&D pre-fab station, but had three platforms; one on the left, one on the right, and another one that stuck out of the back of the station. This was a successful station, and was a year-round station even when the branches of the U&D became a summer-only operation. This station even survived after the branches were abandoned in 1939, and scrapped in 1940. The station was then purchased by the town of Hunter for town offices and a snowplow garage. However, it was razed by fire on a winter day in the early 1970s.
