'''South Gilboa station''' is a disused train station in [[Gilboa, New York|South Gilboa, New York]]. The original station, at MP 70.4, was a spartan facility with a long platform on the end for [[ice]] from Mayham Pond, near the station, to be loaded onto freight cars. The ice would then be shipped to ice houses in [[Kingston, New York]]. However, this building was torn down by the [[Ulster and Delaware Railroad]], and replaced with a new one in the early 1900s.<ref name="NysNrhpNom">{{cite web | url = https://cris.parks.ny.gov/ | title = Cultural Resource Information System (CRIS)| publisher = [[New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation]]| format = Searchable database| accessdate = 2015-11-01}} ''Note:'' This includes {{cite web | url =https://cris.parks.ny.gov/Uploads/ViewDoc.aspx?mode=A&id=36594&q=false | title = National Register of Historic Places Registration Form: South Gilboa Railroad Station| accessdate = 2015-11-01 | author =Raymond W.
