Green County Trip

Yesterday I had to make a run down into Greene County for our business. While on my way down I stopped in Middleburgh to snoop around what was once the end of the line for the Middleburgh and Schoharie Railroad. And if you haven't seen it or have and interest in it check out "Under Vroomans Nose" a book written by Len Killian about this cool little railroad that disappeared in 1936. There are two really neat railroad related buildings left from back in the day along Railroad Avenue. A Bordens Creamery which at some time was possibly re-painted but the "Bordens" amazingly still shows, and the passenger station for the railroad which dates back to 1867 (See this site for further info http://www.hmdb.org/PhotoFullSize.asp?PhotoID=62608 ). .

M&S's 1890 built 2-4-4T at Schoharie junction where the M&S interchanged with the D&H.

 Middleburgh Station today.

Check out the Post Office at Preston Hollow. I really love the Gingerbread accents. Reminds me of what the A&S did to there freight houses between Binghamton and Albany.
