Posted by Train Man Paul : Metro-North's Best Conductor FOR ALL 3 LINES!!! on Mon Jan 11 16:27:53 2010, in response to Re: PHOTOS : Spuyten-Duyvil, posted by docstox on Mon Jan 11 06:37:12 2010. Yep that was the old Spuyten-Duyvil Wye, a holdover from the Penn Central and early Conrail days, when freight still roamed the West Side (Empire) Line up until 1980 if I recall. The old tower still looks good and in good shape, and MNR C&S (Communication & Signals) Department make good use of it, and from time to time Track Department personnel do, with often during the week MNR MOW trucks parked outside it.It is a better photo location than I ever expected. I knew from looking at it from my trains it would be a good spot, but didn't think my shots would be so good there. I gotta try it when the weather is warmer!! Thanks for the compliments, good sir!! :-) |
