Their spur came south off the Erie main at Van Wyck Road and 5th Avenue. Turned south through a housing development, doubtful anything is left there. Crosses the Palisades Interstate Parkway, then Blauvelt Road very close to Michael Drive. Then you've got a quarter circle between Blauvelt and Covent Road which has nothing built on any part of it. There *might* still be rails through that section. South of Covent it went mostly parallel along 3rd Avenue to the steam plant. I've never been there, but I added it to my todo list.
