Whenever I drive south on I-787 in Albany, I can see a track hidden in the weeds. It starts out at the Bulk Handler's team track yeard and runs parallel with the expressway behind Huck Finns, past Hudson Metal, then right next to Water Street where it dead ends at a metal track bumper. I see the track listed only on online maps... not on paper maps going back even to the 1970s.
Can someone give me some history of this track? This area of the D&H line is where I want to model and I wonder if this track was originally an industrial spur track or part of something else like a yard. Any ideas?
Thanks.
