Deposit was the local Erie Railroad station built in the village of Deposit, in Delaware County, New York. Deposit station was located off the side of Front Street (old NY 17) in the village. Located on the Erie's Delaware Division (part of the main line), the station was preceded by Hale Eddy and followed by Oquaga. (Later on this would become Susquehanna. The station is known for being the site of the Erie's groundbreaking as part of the New York, Lake Erie and Western Railroad on November 7, 1835. The station depot, constructed in 1865, was a Type VI brick design station, which stood for 116 years, after being demolished by the Consolidated Rail Company (Conrail). A monolith is present at the station honoring the groundbreaking, which still stands, despite the demolition of the depot in 1981.
