Brown's Station
  collection of Steve Delibert 
 

Brown's Station, three miles beyond, is another quiet boarding section with numerous houses for summer entertainment, and a few summer cottages now creeping in here and there. High Point and the Wittenberg range are now looming up in the distance ahead. A mile-and-a-half south is Winchell's Falls, on the Esopus, and just below, the stream flows through a picturesque, rocky gorge.

Soon after leaving Brown's, the train rounds a graceful curve to the right for two miles, and the Esopus creek is again encountered, for the first since leaving Kingston. The stream here divides above the bridge, forming a pretty little wooded island. Hereafter the track and this wayward current of mountain water maintain companionship for twenty miles and more, bending in and out, and crossing and recrossing the waters as the topography of the valley demands, though not implicitly following its every freak and whim. Between this point and Kingston, it winds its weary way over precipitous rocks, through wild ravines and alluvial and fertile meadows for many a mile far to the south. Crossing now the iron bridge, the train pulls up at (Brodhead's Bridge Station).
