Also, don't forget, that the line between Dover Plains and Wassaic was NOT ABANDONED with the rest of the Harlem line between Wassaic and Chatham. The line north of Dover Plains, while didn't have passenger service, was served by freight for some years after passenger service was trunkated at Dover Plains. The rails were still even in place north of Dover Plains. The line was NOT Abandoned. What Metro North did was not resurect an abandoned rail line, instead, what it did was take a line that was "put into disuse" and bring back passenger service. The case of the east of Port Jeff is not really the same thing, as that line WAS abandoned. |
