Metro North controls the track for approximately two miles north of Poughkeepsie. CP75 is north of Marist Collage, just south of the crossing at Clear Water Drive.

GCT to MO was always listed as the Hudson Line.IIRC, to enhance, the CP's (formerly "named", e.g. "Shell", "Pike", etc., interlockings in NYNH&HRR days), Harlem line CP's start with a 1 and the mile after MO, and NH starts with a 2 and mile after Woodlawn. I think the branches on the NH start with 3, 4, and 5?
While all 3 lines have MP 0.0 in GCT, both the Harlem and New Haven spun off the Hudson at MO,then the New Haven was spun off the Harlem at
Woodlawn(JO tower).
Not sure if any evidence still exists of the Port Morris freight branch that also spun off on the Harlem side of MO.
The Put had it's MP 0,0 at Sedgwick Ave,it's connection to he Hudson line was at BN tower.
