I was browsing thru someones gallery of pictures trying to trace the original erie main thru blauvelt,ny. It got my interest in trying to figure out where the line ran. So using historicaerials.com i followed it from the wye in sparkill,ny. My 2 question's about the line are hopefully basic.
1. How did the original main cross over the NYC? Was it a trestle? Did it have a diamond? Did they even connect there at all?
2. How far did the line go west? I could only really make it out on the aerial site for a maybe a 1/2 mile after it crossed by the hudson shores hobby shop, where the line looks like it went thru there backyard.
