Lanesville was a small station on a branch of the Ulster and Delaware Railroad, five miles from Phoenicia station in Phoenicia in the hamlet of Lanesville. The station was abandoned in 1932 by the New York Central Railroad, having shown little change since it was constructed. The branch Lanesville was on was discontinued in 1940, but the station building remained until it burned down in the 1960s.
