I believe there was a junction between the NYC West Shore Line and the NJ&NY RR between the Haverstraw and West Haverstraw stations, NY going WAY back. It is noted on the extensive 1918 employee time table on page A41 of Wilson Jones. This connection likely did not last into the 1940's, as the line was cut back to Thiells/Letchworth by then. However, I have few details on what was interchanged at the junction, presumably freight cars were exchanged, but there was no co-running of trains that I can imagine, or noted anywhere that I have seen. - -------------------------------------------------------------- Interesting - From a NYC board Message text written by INTERNET:NYC-Railroad_@_yahoogroups.com rowlandskate said: >Did the NYC intersect with the Erie Railroad at any point, and if so were there any mutual running power arrangements? < The Erie Lackawanna Mailing List Sponsored by the ELH&TS http://www.elhts.org To Unsubscribe: http://lists.elhts.org/erielackunsub.html ------------------------------
