I've never done much research about the NYC, but I am aware that the Penn Central abandoned the station in Albany in the late 60's in favor of Renneslear. I've been poking around Google Earth and Microsoft Virtual Earth attempting trace former and current right-of-ways. I realize that the freeway construction obliterated much of ROW around the former Albany station, but I've been unable to ascertain as to how passenger trains from New York City and other points south swung over to the west side of the Hudson and Albany.
The Livingston Ave. bridge would have required a back-up move, thus I'm sure that wasn't used for crack passenger trains. The same appears to be true for the Alfred H. Smith brigde.
Can someone help me out?
