Nostalgia & History > Amtrak in Kingston (yes Kingston!) and Rhinecliff, N.Y.Date: 07/20/21 11:03 Amtrak in Kingston (yes Kingston!) and Rhinecliff, N.Y. Author: pbrasky A few days after my daughter's wedding, I went to the local RR yard to watch trains (and recover!) and ran into the local car repairman, who I was friendly with. As I had no scanner, he told me there would soon be a northbound passenger movement on the controlled siding (inspection train?). He was right and photo #1 caught it at Flatbush Avenue in Kingston (ca. mid June, 1998). Photos #2 & #3 are from Rhinecliff Station, across the Hudson River from Kingston: #2 is about to proceed south, while #3 has a clear signal @ CP 89 to proceed north. In both photos, the Hudson is just a few feet to my left. Hope you enjoy these!
