Kelly's Corners station, situated at milepost 51.4 on the Ulster and Delaware Railroad, served an agricultural community within Delaware County, New York.
Positioned north of Kelly's Corners, between New York State Route 30 and the railroad line, the initial facility was a modest board-and-batten flag stop mainly utilized by local farmers for shipping milk. This structure was soon replaced by a newer station nearby; however, limited patronage led to its reclassification as a flag stop during the 1920s. Additionally, the railroad operated a section house and maintained a coal storage pocket at this location.
Kelly's Corners was home to two creameries: "Yankee Creamery," located close to where State Route 30 currently crosses, was a partnership between Hanford S. Shultis of the "Elgin of the Catskills" dairy farm and E. Louis Kadans from Kadan's Creamery in Dunraven, New York. The "Eureka Creamery," situated across the valley in what is now known as 'Frog Alley,' employed a push cart on rails extending from the station across the river to facilitate milk can transport.
By the 1950s, the station had been relocated across Route 30 near the local cemetery. It was subsequently dismantled during the 1960s amid reconstruction work on New York State Route 30, along with adjacent buildings. One of the original Kelly's Corners station signs is preserved and exhibited at the Arkville station of the Delaware & Ulster Railroad.
