Hunter Railroad Station

Hunter Railroad Station

The railroad station at Hunter, New York, branch MP 2.5, was a former station on the Hunter Branch of the Ulster and Delaware Railroad (U&D) and was the busiest station on the branch lines of the U&D. Within several yards of the station were the Standard Oil Co. and the Otto Gordon Coal Co., along with the village of Hunter itself having plenty of hotels.

The station was built in 1882, and was the last station to be built by the narrow-gauge Stony Clove and Catskill Mountain Railroad. It was one of the busiest stations on the railroad, and increased the railroad's business whence the railroad got there. The U&D incorporated the smaller railroad in 1899. The station was expanded in 1900.

The U&D was taken over by the New York Central Railroad in 1932, and the Hunter station was one of only two stations on the branch lines. However, the branch lines of the U&D were abandoned in 1939, and scrapped in 1940. The station is now a private dwelling and the freight house is a tool shed.
