From the Austin McEntee collection
This station was along the double track Maybrook Line between the Poughkeepsie railroad bridge and the big yard at Maybrook.

I grew up on Blossom Farm that was located on St. Elmo Road and my father was a railroad engineer, he used to blow the train horn miles away so, we would run down the road where he would stop the train and we would get on it for a train ride back to Maybrook.
It was a lot fun for kids and made for a childhood memory for me.. from the 70's.
Yes, that was a train depot a long time ago.. it still sits there and I think it is a historical site?The color is a light blue now- I don't have information on it but, maybe on: http://www.kinglyheirs.com/CNE/MaybrookDutchess.html  - Nancy
