Posted by ebtmikado on Fri Jul 3 08:26:25 2009, in response to Re: Metro-North west-of-Hudson service improvements in July 12 timetable, posted by trainsarefun on Wed Jul 1 12:14:17 2009. The mainline of the New Jersey and New York Railroad ran from a connection with the Erie in Rutherford to New City. In Nanuet,there was a wye. the right leg of the wye was the line to New City. It crossed the Piermont Branch (Original Erie mainline Piermont- Dunkirk, NY-on Lake Erie) at a diamond. the left leg of the wye was the connection to the Piermont Branch. NJ&NY trains ran over this section of the Piermont Branch to Spring Valley where NJ&NY trackage branched off to the right, through Woodbine, Mt. Ivy, Thiells, West Haverstraw and Haverstraw. This was the Haverstraw Branch. I worked in Nanuet station in 1960, when all that trackage was still intact, and worked as a locomotive engineer on those lines until 1973. Lee |
