Re: (rshsdepot) North Bangor, N.Y. (Rutland)

The Rutland crossed the NYC branch that went to Montreal, Canada and Utica,  
NY (Some of this trackage is still in use by the Adirondack Scenic Railroad 
and  the Mohawk Adirondack & Northern RR.) on the east side of Malone, NY  
(Malone Junction). When I was up there two years ago the station was still  
standing and was used as a real estate office (I think.) It was in the SW  quadrant 
of the surface RR crossing. Bangor (North Bangor) is about 8-10 miles  west of 
Malone, NY I don't know about the rails to trail information though. 
 
The Rutland also crossed the NYC branch that went from Helena,  NY to Tupper 
Lake, NY at Moria, NY. This branch has been out of service for  over fifty 
years, probably much longer to the best of my knowledge.
 
The Rutland also crossed the NYC branch that went from Massena, NY to  
Watertown, NY at Norwood, NY. The tracks are still in use from Norwood to  
Ogdensburg owned by the Ogdensburg Port and Bridge Authority and operated by the  Saint 
Lawrence and Raquette River RR (Don't know if this the latest operating  
company. They change often up there.)
 
I went to college in Potsdam, NY during the fifty's and traveled much  of 
this territory chasing trains and abandoned ROW.
 
SPV's Railroad Atlas, Northeast Volume shows these RRs in  very good detail.
