| Title: |
New station |
| Description: |
The new station at Middletown is on the formerly freight only Graham Line, now handling passenger trains since the original Erie main was abandoned through Chester, Goshen and Middletown. This station is out by the Galleria, just to the north of NY 17. It may be cheaper to run, but has none of the elegance of the station it replaced, which is now a library. We see a mid day run from Suffern pausing on its way to Port Jervis with a pair of RDCs, the lead car a former NYC Beeliner. Note the railfan chase vehicle to the left of the train. |

| Title: |
RDCs to Suffern |
| Description: |
After Conrail abandoned the Erie main through Goshen and Chester, MTA built stations to accomodate trains running on the new rouite, via the Graham Line and Moodna Viaduct. Harriman also got a new station east of Newburgh Jct, as the old one was on the Erie main just west of NJ. Here a pair of RDCs of NYC heritage make their stop with an afternoon shuttle that will connect with a Hoboken train at Suffern. |

End of the line |
| Description: |
Or at least as far as this train will go. The pair of RDCs I shot at Middletown has arrived at Port Jervis and waits for time to head back to Suffern and a Hoboken connection. |
