Are there still any tracks through Maybrook yard?
looking at aerial photos and maps:
http://maps.google.com

it looks like tracks still extend from Hamtonburg, through Maybrook, and north to Walden.
or is that just an empty ROW visable?

this would be the old Wallkill Valley right?

Maybrook was a New Haven facility, the Walkill Valley Branch was an NYC operation. NYC gained access to Maybrook via trackage rights on Erie from Montgomery to Maybrook.

There is currently a single running track left that runs through Maybrook.

The only railroad going west/south out of Maybrook directly was the
Lehigh and Hudson River. The New York Central went over Erie track
between Montgomery and Campbell Hall and then into Maybrook but not
directly into Maybrook.
They all had to run over New Haven trackage between Campbell Hall and
Maybrook Yard.
