Although I lived in the Catskill Mountain area as a boy I did not have much knowledge about 19th and early 20th century railroading there. I later found a book about the Ulster and Delaware Railroad that inclued information about narrow gauge lines in the Catskills as well. Ralph

I remember steam on the Harlem Division of the NYC, in Croton Falls, N.Y., and visited my uncle in Poughkeepsie many times, but until this moment was totally unaware of narrow gauge in the Catskills!!
Guess I have some research to do.

Apparently, there were two of them. According to what I found here<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.kinglyheirs.com/AbandonedRR/CatskillMountain1.html#CatskillMountain">http://www.kinglyheirs.com/AbandonedRR/ ... llMountain</a><!-- m -->), the Stoney Cove & Catskill Mountain, and the Kaaterskill Railroad. According to the article, both were absorbed by the Ulster and Delaware, and the tracks were converted to standard gauge before 1940.
