The map in the Feb 2013 Trains magazine shows the B&M's Troy Branch, and Troy Union Station, as abandoned in 1959. I'm pretty sure Rutland trains (enroute to Chatham NY) went through here on trackage rights until at least 1963, and my B&M emloyee timetable from Jan 1964 shows the Troy branch. And even though I can't find the magazine, I'm pretty sure I remember a photo of a Penn Central train parting the weeds at the site of the former Union Station. Anyone have a real date for abandonment?
