Stony Clove Notch station

This Ulster and Delaware station, branch MP 9.8, was at the summit of a grade that went to the Stony Clove Notch, where the Stony Clove Valley narrowed and was but a few yards wide. It was a flagstop, where people would have to signal a train to stop for them. This station never made much business, and was immediately taken out of service when the New York Central took over the U&D on February 1, 1932. It was also a house, and a U&D employee lived there who would walk from Edgewood station to Kaaterskill Junction station to check for fires.
