Abandoned NYNH&H Railroad Right of Way

Abandoned ROW of the Maybrook Line of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, from Clintondale, N.Y. (where the line passed underneath Interstate 87) northeast to Elting Corners, N.Y. The burning of the Poughkeepsie Bridge over the Hudson River on May 8, 1974 severed this route. The Maybrook Line started at the rail yards in the Maybrook, N.Y. rail yards and continued east to Devon, CT (and onto Cedar Hill Terminal in New Haven, CT, 15 miles to the northeast of Devon).
