Better weather is here and I made a trip out today. One update and two adds.

Updated Saratoga County with photos of the Ballston Terminal Railway station in Rock City Falls (no nettles in the winter and early spring!) and added the Mt. McGregor Railroad station in Saratoga Springs. This station was "lost" for a bit. It was assumed still standing but people weren't sure where. Even the City Historian was not sure. But after asking last summer, she contacted me in March and told me that research on the Berrigan family history uncovered the location of the station. It had been moved by a Berrigan! Thank you Maryann Fitzgerald.

Added the Little Falls & Dolgeville station in Dolgeville Herkimer County. Reading an old book on the line yield a clue it had been saved. The local historian found it for me. Thank you Susan Perkins.

As info for those who didn't see it, local news did a piece on a current attempt to save the New Lebanon depot in Rensselaer County. Video including interior views here.

"Also the Syracuse, Binghamton & New York in Homer on Wall St is not long for the world if you want a photo for yourself."

Don't see one on Wall St. Would this be the current police station on James St at Cortland St? That's what the Landmark Society of Homer says.

Thanks for the link and clarification. Your notes say it was moved. Was it originally where the current tracks are or were the tracks originally in a different location also?

Originally over by the tracks.

Thought so. Never heard of a line relocation through there but what the hell do I know? Thanks again.

Updated Greene County with updated data and photos. The Catskill Mountain Otis Junction freight house is missing. It could be in there. A lot of private property.

Finished Columbia County with updated data and photos.

Finished Dutchess County with updated data and photos. NYC Verbank freight house is gone and the CNE Red Hook passenger depot is gone, torn down to build a new business (was a house). Still need an updated photo of the Dover Plains freight house.

Finished Ulster County with updated data and photos. Everything is still standing!
