Posted by 3-9 on Sun May 15 23:58:24 2011, in response to PHOTOS : More Thunder On The River Line!! Pt. 2 - West Haverstraw, posted by Train Man Paul : Metro-North's Best Conductor FOR ALL 3 LINES!!! on Sun May 15 11:47:47 2011. Nice pics + catch! Thanks for sharing those!Looking at your posts made me look up pics of the River line, esp. West Haverstraw. Found this: Frank's Photography Site. Was it the station building that was big or the whole complex? Based on the pics, the station building seemed bigger, more solid than Haverstraw, but not impressively so (kind of like a 2 story brick house with a cellar). Also this: River Sub Haverstraw2. Are there any more remnants of the original passenger car yard there, aside from what can be seen beyond the Stop sign in your pics? It's too bad the route from Weehawken to Newburgh is long dead - it travels through some very scenic and tourist-worthy sites. But based on the old timetable, a 57-mile route took around 2 hours - maybe it could have done better if it was faster? ^_^; |
