Photo Gallery Kellys Station
There hasn’t been a whole lot of excitement lately at Kelly’s Station, a now-defunct hamlet in the town of Princetown about halfway between Schenectady and Duanesburg. The only noise you might hear is the running water of the Bonny Brook and the nearby Normanskill, the traffic speeding along Route 7, and perhaps the occasional blaring horn as motorists cautiously enter the Kelly’s Station Road tunnel. Posted on March 30, 2008.
Kelly’s Station Road tunnel, built in 1885 by the Delaware and Hudson Railroad, is seen here from the northern side where it takes a quick turn to the left after exiting the high railroad embankment above it.

A small pickup truck drives by all the pertinent road signage as it enters into the Kelly’s Station Road tunnel from Route 7 in the Town of Princetown. All motorists are urged to their horns as they enter the one-way structure.
