[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Overmod I, for one, would be infinitely fascinated to see how anyone gets down the "Deleware River" to New York from Binghamton. I have to conclude that the New York City area is what you mean, because going 'from Binghamton to New York State' would be like going from Toronto south to Ontario in Canadian terms... rather difficult. Delaware = Philadelphia HUDSON = New York City Delaware and Hudson = railroad intended in part to link the two Suskie goes as close to NYC as you need; they also have a very interesting nearly-forgotten tunnel under the Palisades that AFAIK is still not used for anything (I last walked it in the late 1990s). You'll need to reconstruct some track between the Public Service plant on Overpeck Creek to get the line in service, but it's graded for double track over the meadows... Very easy transfer to the West Shore line, too, if you are interested in terminal-end access over trackage rights. [/quote] OM- You really need to look at a map. The Delaware River is reached from Binghamton by the Southern Tier Line by going over the mountain at Gulf Summit and follows the Delaware River east to Port Jervis. This is the route of the Erie Railroad main line and goes to New Jersey (mileposts are set to Jersey City) across the river (Hudson) from NYC. In the olden days ferries took passengers to NYC. No Philly involvement. LC
