Headed for home |
| Description: |
A big crowd waits on the Harlem Line train to Grand Central as July 4th weekend winds down. Most of the people there just came off the RDC at right, which covered the trip down from Dover Plains. Good thing the guy with the Suburban didn't leave his driver's side door open!! |

Connection |
| Description: |
The connection to the upper Harlem trains was moved from Brewster to a new station at Brewster North, but the hand off continued as it had for years. An FL 9 powered train would come up from Grand Central, passengers for the Dover Plains run would make an across the platform change to an RDC. |

Dover Plains shuttle |
| Description: |
Metro North-actually still Conrail under contract to MTA at this point-was using an RDC to protect the schedule north of Brewster to Dover Plains. It was a fun ride if you didnt have to do it every day!! |

Big bridge |
| Description: |
I had always wanted to get a train here ever since I first saw this bridge in 1973. It took me a few years to get here, largely due to youth and lack of resources. By then, the EL power was all gone, but I did get RDCs and U34s there, though by then they were NJ Transit. Still a good spot, even today. Thats NY 59 in the foreground. |

Bare ruined choirs |
| Description: |
The shuttle from Suffern stops at the once grand Erie station that has fallen on bad times. Not quite ten years after EL left, it is in disrepair, windows missing or covered with plywood and bricks falling out, holes in the roof. Fate will favor the station, and it will undergo a renovation that will restore its one time elegance. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
