Cochecton Railroad Station is a historic train station located at Cochecton in Sullivan County, New York. It was built about 1850 by the Erie Railroad as a freight station. It is a large, 1-story frame building with Greek Revival style details. The 1+1⁄2-story, rectangular building measures 30 feet wide and 50 feet deep and is topped by a gable roof.[4] It is the oldest surviving station in New York state.[5] It was moved from its original site in the early 1990s to be saved from demolition.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[3]
