Ashokan Railroad Station

Ashokan Railroad Station

The Ashokan Station, was a former station location located at MP 16.2 on the Ulster & Delaware Railroad in Ulster County, New York. The location was selected as a station site in 1913 a part of the realignment of the Ulster & Delaware as a result of the construction of New York City's Ashokan Reservoir.

The building used as the station was originally located at Brown's Railroad Station located at MP 15.8 on the line before it was relocated for the reservoir. After passenger service was discontinued in 1954, the Ashokan station building was again relocated to Tinker Street in Woodstock, where a portico and a tower were added, and it now is a retail shop.

The former Ashokan station site will be a future terminus for the Catskill Mountain Railroad.

The former Ashokan tool house has been moved across the tracks near the former station site, and will be eventually restored as a new Ashokan station.
