The Dupont Branch

Here is a shot of Erie Lackawanna RS-2 829 midway on the Dupont branch in Newburgh NY. This was called the Dupont branch because it once served the Dupont plant at the other end of Newburgh. At it's height, the branch serviced about 13 industries in northern Newburgh and the last one closed in 1988 leaving the siding intact but abandoned. Photo refits to Russ Hallock
