Present Condition
Currently, the West Hurley station area still retains a single, 750-foot-long (230 m) siding that was used by the railroad to store the first half of a train when it was necessary to break a train while coming up the 2% grade from Kingston.
The Catskill Mountain Railroad plans to use the siding as a storage track for four passenger cars, a ballast hopper and a gondola, which will be brought up from Kingston in 2007.
The foundations of the depot are still easily seen, and the CMRR plans to clear out further the area around the station and the siding in 2007.
The station area may eventually be used as a loading area for pulpwood to be shipped by rail.

“I believe that every man who has ever been earnest to preserve his higher or poetic faculties in the best condition has been particularly inclined to abstain from animal food, and from much food of any kind.”
