Years ago when MN bought the Beacon line,they could have re-habbed it & had it ready for just such emergencys & ran southbound Bomb trains from Poughkeepsie to CP Dyke & then down the Harlem line to GCT & give Dutchess Co patrons a one seat ride & a sense that they were getting the most bang for their buck.Just a pipe dream. When Don Nelson insisted on buying the Beacon Line in the first place to fulfill a future need for Dutchess Co service to White Plains, it was pie in the sky optomism. From CP 58 to CP Dyke is junk filled & washed out in many places. There was potential there for improved upper hudson traffic but the realistic future holds that the line is just another rail trail to come |
