Tannersville Station was a train station in Tannersville, New York operated by the Ulster and Delaware Railroad. It ceased operation in 1940 and was burned down on March 2, 1966. [5]
The original station at Tannersvile, New York, branch MP 14.6, was architecturally similar to the Lanesville station; a small building with a platform on each end, was also torn down in 1899, after the Kaaterskill Railroad was standard-gauged by the U&D in 1899.
The new Tannersville station was a fabricated station 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 as an extension at the back of the station.
Tannersville was considered to be a successful year-round station, although branches of the U&D later became summer-only operations.
Tannersville's terminal was still standing after U&D's branches were abandoned in 1939 and scrapped in 1940. The terminal was then purchased by the town of Hunter in order to function as town offices and a snowplow garage.
The terminal was razed by a fire on March 2, 1966, along with three trucks and power equipment. [5]
