| The branch lines in Orange county have had somewhat spotty histories in the post Conrail era, and some are no longer active. One that still sees some traffic is the ex CR Maybrook Industrial track, a line once used by the Erie and EL to reach the New Havens yard at Maybrook. That connection dried up, or more correctly, burned, with the fire on the bridge at Poughkeepsie in May 1974. Its present incarnation is run by the East Penn Railway, which has reporting marks ESPN. The unit they use on this and a couple other lines in the area is stored at Campbell Hall when not out on the road, which is where we see it here. |
