I remember the Wassaic revival. An un-abandonment is a great thing- even if it's not complete.

SIR opened the Ball Park station a year later. I thought (wrongly) that it was the start of something bigger...

"Passenger service north of Dover Plains was discontinued by Penn Central in 1972."

There's a story out there that the ICC granted Penn Central the OK to abandon passenger service north of Dover Plains at midday during a weekday. Immediately, service was cancelled & hundreds of commuters (and crew that brought the train in) who traveled from north of Dover Plains were stranded w/o any train home.

I believe that Millerton was outside the MTA's service area.
