| Page 181: Sadly, there appear to be no photographs
of the Stony Hollow railroad station. There is however, an Edison movie showing
the station. We know from Peter Sinclair that the station was painted a cream
color circa 1900 . The photo above was captured by John Ham – author of several
wonderful books about the Ulster & Delaware – from the movie as is the
next image showing the road viaduct over the tracks. Both are used with permission.

|
| Page 181: The viaduct was built in 1913, probably
as a part of the Ashokan reservoir project. It allowed slow moving construction
vehicles to pass over the rails without interference of either by the other.
Stony Hollow still exists. While most of the buildings in the image are gone,
other nice old structures are still to be found in the environs. These include
the Madden house cared for by Peter Sinclair and the Society for Hudson
Vernacular Architecture. (http://www.hvva.org/) The overpass was removed in the late 1980s after the railroad discontinued service. The grade crossing was restored at that time by the Catskill Mountain Railroad preservation group. The author recalls driving this route many times during his childhood.
