letsgored - here's a link to a map that shows the area I am modeling. <br /> <br />http://www.thetreblemakers.com/putnam%20division.jpg <br /> <br />The New Haven connects to the NYC Harlem Division in the north at Brewster (technically Putnam Jct. an employee only station) and in the south at Mount Vernon. As far as I know, the two connections still exist today although under different railroads and of course the Putnam Division is long gone. The NYC - New Haven connection at Brewster was part of the first passenger rail route from New York to Boston. <br /> <br />The Brewster connection was more of a freight interchange from the Maybrook Yard and the connection in Mt. Vernon is more of a passenger connection. You can still ride Metro North out of New York City, change at Mt Vernon West and pick up a New Haven Line train. In Brewster there is still a New Haven Line shuttle to Danbury. <br /> <br />Here's a link to the New Haven: <br /> <br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York%2C_New_Haven_and_Hartford_Railroad <br /> <br />I like your idea of connecting the PRR to the NH. You could have the PRR meet the NYC in New York City and then have it meet the New Haven in Brewster. Whatever you decide, good luck and have fun!
