You're looking for THE PASCACK VALLEY LINE by Wilson Jones, published in
1996 by the Railroadians of America, since merged with the Midland Railway
Historical Society.  The book should still be in some hobby shops, Amazon,
eBay, etc.  The Midlanders have a post office box in Parsippany, but I
don't remember its number.

Yes, the NJ& NY did go to Haverstraw.  It didn't connect with the West
Shore there, however, but rather at WEST Haverstraw - several miles north
of town.
