The branch ran for eighty miles between Binghamton (MP 191.72) and Syracuse (MP 271.16). At one time it extended north to Oswego on Lake Erie. Passenger service at the end consisted of one train, the “Interstate Express”. This train was carded as running between Syracuse and Washington DC.

The first No.1 train had cars 2210-06 and 2196-2200. Source: New York Division Bulletin /October 2002 MainR 3664 added the following: I remember the resumption of service to South Ferry- the vibrations quickly collapsed George's Diner!! (S/E corner of Rector and Greenwich Streets). The official theory was that the collapse of the tower a year earlier had weakened the building, but that had gone unnoticed. Then, all of a sudden, running the trains again finished the job. Luckily, the collapse happened in the early AM hours, so no one was hurt. Larry, RedbirdR33 |

Also on this post, didn't the 1958 accident at Newark bay also spell the end of that passenger service? There were actually three separate events. February 3, 1946 - The freighter "Jagger Seam" collides with the drawbridge on the direct line between Jersey City and Newark. This bridge is then permanently taken out of service. September 15, 1958 - The aforementioned train plunging off the Newark Bay Bridge and killing about 40 people. May 16, 1966 - The freighter "S.S. Washington collides with the north span of the Newark Bay Bridge. After that all rail traffic is routed over the south span. Larry, RedbirdR33 |
