Pine Hill Railroad Station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pine Hill Station, MP 39.7, served the village of Pine Hill, New York. It was constructed on the slope of Belle Ayr Mountain 100 feet above the village along the steep grade running from Big Indian to the summit at Grand Hotel Station. The famous double horseshoe curves on the the U&D were located just west of the station. Pine Hill has a large spring and for many years large quantities of bottled water were shipped from here. This station was abandoned after the end of passenger service on the U&D in 1954, and was soon torn apart because it was in such bad condition. It was on the same hill that now stands next to the artificial Pine Hill Lake.
