Grand Hotel Railroad Station

Grand Hotel Railroad Station

Grand Hotel Station, MP 41.4 of the Ulster and Delaware Railroad, was located in the small mountain hamlet of Highmount, New York, at the summit between Big Indian and Arkville. A turntable was located here, allowing pusher engines to be turned before descending to Arkville or Big Indian. It served as a stop for the Grand Hotel and the Highmount post office. It was extremely busy until the end of passenger service on the line in 1954. It was left to fall apart and become an eyesore, and was soon torn apart.

It is presently the eastern end of track operated by the Delaware and Ulster Railroad, and the western end of track for the Catskill Mountain Railroad.
