Michael,
 
There is a connection at Newburgh NY. And yes, there is a huge elevation change between the two railroads. The former Erie line grade drops towards the Hudson River and then there is a bridge that crosses over the old NYC line and then runs parallel to it unit they are at the same grade. It seems that at one time there was a small interchange track there as well. All of this still exists. You will find it between the oil tank farms and the marinas along, what I beleive is, River Road.

Michael -- I'm not sure there was a physical connection between Erie and NYC at 
Newburgh.  I though the elevation difference was too great to allow an 
interchange, the Erie being uphill.

Now if only Metro-North could get down to restoring the cross-county Spring 
Valley-Suffern rail link...too bad the line from SV-Haverstraw is gone forever, 
along with its link to to the ex-NYC West Shore Line...
