Did the Erie Railroad at anytime after it ran its rails south to the Hoboken/Jersey City area ever consider building a cutoff or bypass between Ramsey or Suffern directly to Port Jervis? This would have given the railroad more of a direct route to the west verses going over the line through Campbell Hall. The railroad, at one time, controlled the NYS&W, did it ever consider tying it to a direct line to Port Jervis that would be beneficial to the Erie RR in saving miles to the west?
