Did You Know?

Did you know that the Andes Station of the Delaware & Eastern (later Northern) Railroad was the busiest stop of the offshoot of the main line?

Where the newly renovated Andes Depot Building and Andes Rail Trail is today, from 1907-1925 stood the Andes Branch of the Delaware & Eastern (later Northern) Railroad. An offshoot of the main line that went as far as Kingston, the Andes Station was both the spur’s terminus and busiest stop; ferrying passengers, produce, and dairy from Andes’ two creameries out to distant markets. In 1939, facing economic woes the D&N was sold to New York State.
