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 house. 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] The last passenger trains at Cocheton were unnamed trains from Hoboken, New Jersey to Binghamton timed to meet up with the Phoebe Snow. ^[5]

It is the oldest surviving station in New York state. ^[6] 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]
