Crossbuck Mile Square Road

Louis Brzuchalski	General	Is this track out of service? I can see the crossing relay box, but can see that crossing flashers have been removed. Lots of trackage has been lost over the last 10-20 years with all of the mergers and takeovers.	4/20/2005 10:27:25 PM

David Sommer	General	Last psgr svc late 50's. Trains terminated at Sedgewick Ave in the Bronx opposite old Polo Grounds. Line saw light freight movements for 15-20 more years and was abandoned in the early 70's IIRC. Much of R-O-W is now a bicycle path. These photos dated 1992.	4/20/2005 11:00:38 PM

Ken Roble	General	Who's line this? NYC?	4/20/2005 11:30:37 PM

Chris Horne	General	I snapped these photos nearly 15 years ago, and haven't been back to this area since. It is NYC's Putnam Division line. As previous post stated, the ROW is a bike path maintained by Westchester County, however the bike path does not extend this far south, according to the county's parks/recreation part of their website.	4/21/2005 9:57:25 AM
