West Hurley, MP 9.8, later MP 10.2, was a railroad station on the Ulster and Delaware Railroad in West Hurley, New York that was constructed in the late nineteenth century and rebuilt during the construction of the Ashokan Reservoir. The original station was made of wood. It was later torn down and temporarily replaced with a board-and-batten shed close to Woodstock, which created much local indignation. A new brick station to replace it was constructed at the West Hurley Dike of the Ashokan Reservoir. The depot was torn down in 1967.

Water service was available for steam engines at this station. A water tower was located northwest of the station, which served water plugs located between the tracks.
