Maybrook Line "West End " Photos..

Is there ANYWHERE in books or video that anyone knows of, of pics west of Hopewell Jct, in the late 60's til the bridge burned. Seems like it wasnt a very photographed part of the NH or PC, cant find anything around poughkeepsie, highland, etc. Im sure its out there somewhere!!!! I was born a few years to late to see it..Thanks!!!

Last years CNE Tour book covered the Maybrook Line from the Pok bridge to the Maybrook Yard. Many of the pictures you asked about were in that book.

I have posted several hundred photos and stories about railroads in the Hudson Valley on a web site. It has 23 sections and more will be coming. Take a look at this web site.

Some of the sections show the area you are asking about.

actually your website is GREAT, its actualy in my favrote places, i grew up in poughkeepsie, and spent lots of time riding rs3's in smith st yard, your website has helped with some pics for ideas for my ho scale layout. ill have to try & locate the book somewhere, i know they are hard to come by! thanks for your help. dave

I think the only source for the CNE tour books would be the files in my computer. We print just enough for the riders on the tours and one or two extras for UCONN and local libraries etc.

By the way, do you have any info about the Brookview station across the river in Renselaer County ? I had a request for info and I have not found very much so far.

Rennsselaer County , New York - is north of Columbia County.
The latter, in turn , is north of Dutchess County. Hence, the Maybrook
line served no place in Rensselaer County, New York.
Good-Luck, PJB

I am well aware that the Maybrook Line did not go anywhere near Renselaer County. I am still looking for info about the Brookview station for a different project.
