Rockland County Abandoned RRs - a few questions

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

During quarantine, I've been making plans for trips after COVID-19 ends, and one of those is to Rockland County to explore a few abandoned railroads. I have a few questions, however.

  1. Are there any remnants of the NY&NJ RR north of Spring Valley (that's the RR that went to Haverstraw)
  2. Are there any remnants of the Erie Piermont Pranch between Blauvelt and Nanuet or between Spring Valley and Suffern
  3. Did the Erie Northern Branch ever go north of Nyack?
  4. Are there any remnants of stations on the CSX River Sub?

Any answers would be much appreciated!

@XcelsiorBoii4888 @S78 via Hylan @engineerboy6561 @Mtatransit @B35 via Church @Trainmaster5 @biGC323232 do any of you know?

I can answer #2 on the Spring Valley and Suffern part---you can trace much of the ROW, but would need some condemnation within Ramapo.

Thanks! Do you know anything about the remnants of the stations or Blauvelt to Nyack?
