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.

Famous quotes containing the words present and/or condition:
“When winter snows upon thy sable hairs,
And frost of age hath nipped thy beauties near;
When dark shall seem thy day that never clears,
And all lies withered that was held so dear,
Then take this picture which I here present thee,
Limned with a pencil not all unworthy;”
—Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)
“It is difficult to make our material condition better by the best law, but it is easy enough to ruin it by bad laws.”
