History
Situated at branch MP 14.6, the initial Tannersville station bore similarity to the Lanesville station, characterized by a modest structure with platforms extending from both ends. This original building was taken down in 1899 following the standard-gauging of the Kaaterskill Railroad by the U&D.
Constructed in the early 20th century, the successor station utilized a standard U&D prefabricated frame design and included three platforms: one on each side and an additional rear platform.
Distinct from other U&D branches that transitioned to seasonal summer service, Tannersville maintained consistent year-round operations.
Following the abandonment of U&D branches in 1939 and their dismantling in 1940, ownership of the terminal transferred to the town of Hunter, which repurposed it for municipal offices and a snowplow storage facility.
On March 2, 1966, a fire consumed the building along with three trucks and various power equipment.[1]
