Viewing Album:  PRSL's Abandoned Wildwood Branch
 
By:Ben Kranefeld
Dates:3/31/2013 - 3/31/2013
Album Info: The single tracked line across the marshes began operation in 1912. With the increase in automobile usage, passenger service on the line ended in 1972, with freight ending in 74. The Wildwood Branch was officially abandoned on Feb 13, 1976 and the tracks removed the following year. In 2013, a portion of the rail embankment was removed to restore the marshlands. The photos in this album were taken in early 2013, just as the marshland restoration was beginning. Photos of the former engine loop at Cold Spring Harbor were taken and added to this album in 2019.
