"Veterans Electric at City Island"
Clouds begin to roll in, as hoped, while Amtrak Veteran's ACS-64 #642 pulls Regional 176 past the abandoned NYNH&H City Island Road Station. City Island Road Station, also known as the Bartow Station was a wooden station house built for the Harlem River and Port Chester Railroad, a branch line of the New York, New Haven & Hartford in the 1870s. Passengers would get off the train here and catch a nearby trolley to City Island. Later on, the wooden station was replaced by a Cass Gilbert designed station house in 1908 which is seen in this photo.
The Northeast Corridor cuts through four New York counties on its brief stretch to the Connecticut Line east of Port Chester. There are several photo opportunities along the route.
