In April of 1936, the Erie Railroad closed down their "Shortcut" brach and ended passenger service on the Newburgh Branch. Seen to the right is the last train at Enderlin (West Cornwall) NY. After exchanging passengers, the train will continue to head northbound towards Vails Gate Junction and eventually, Newburgh. The train will then turn around and head down the branch to Greycourt NY. In the distance, the bridge that carries the NYO&W mainline over the shortcut can be seen. Photo from Russ Hallock.
