Eastern Railroad Discussion > NYS&W Campbell HallDate: 09/21/22 11:10 NYS&W Campbell Hall Author: twropr Did NYS&W build a direct connection with NJ Transit at Campbell Hall, NY, of do their trains still make a runaround move at Maybrook?
If yes, about when did the connection go into service? Thanks Andy Date: 09/21/22 11:30 Re: NYS&W Campbell Hall Author: Lackawanna484 There is a direct connection from the L&HR north to the Metro-North west just east of Campbell Hall station. Prob been there 35 years +/-

Prob been there 35 years +/- I think 35 years is a shade high, but not by much. It definitely occurred by the early 1990s, when Conrail still operated the Hudson Secondary. I recall chasing an eastbound NYSW stacker from the Lackawaxen area through Otisville to the Hudson Secondary in September 1991, and it did not go up to Maybrook. Edited 1 time(s).

One of the more interesting ideas was to head up the Y out of CH and head towards Maybrook then swing on to the old O&W row and then to the LHR at place called Burnside.
