Arkville Railroad Station
The Arkville Station, MP 48.1 on the Ulster and Delaware Railroad (U&D), and MP 37.52 on the Delaware and Northern Railroad (D&N), was another busy station, as this served as a junction between the two railroads. This station bore a strong resemblance to the Grand Hotel Station and the Pine Hill Station, which both looked like longer versions of the Mount Pleasant Station.
==Ulster and Delaware==
This station was built when the Rondout and Oswego Railroad got to Arkville (then called Dean's Corners) in 1871, covering the site of the ancient Tuscarora Indian headquarters. In addition to the station the U&D also constructed a freight house, engine house, water tower, coaling tower and turntable here. Helper engines were added to eastbound trains here to help with steep grade to the summit at Grand Hotel Station.
Major shippers here included the Luzerene Chemical Company and (Callanan Industries ). In the late 19th century and early 20th century, Luzerne operated large wood acid factory located on the flats west of the U&D and north of the D&N. This factory was served by a long siding running south from the U&D. Calanan received large quantities of material used in highway construction up through the 1970s, processing them in a plant located on the flat south of the present Arkville yard.
In the town of Arkville, there were several churches, stores, hotels, and even a local waterworks. This station survived until the end of passenger service on the U&D in 1954, when the station was abandoned and left to deteriorate. It was hit by a runaway milk truck in the 1960s, and was so badly destroyed, that it was torn down for fear someone would get hurt. Now the freight half of the Halcottville Railroad Station and a group of benches are in its place. The U&D's Arkville freight house is now the Arkville Station for the Delaware and Ulster Railroad.
