Eric -	General	Great photo! I looked at the tracks along the Hudson to see if I could find this spot and I believe it's Rhinecliff. I know you had stated in the description that this is somewhere between Poughkeepsie and Harmon but I can't find any current or former station in that area which resembles this, especially with the curve and the old ferry slip on the right. So again, looks like Rhinecliff to me, which is still a stop for Amtrak. Hope this helps!	7/1/2015 11:49:24 AM

Pacemaker
This is an undated Ektachrome of a a Pacemaker train passing a location on the NYC between Harmon and Poughkeepsie. My knowledge of the Hudson Division in any detail is sketchy, so if anyone can pinpoint the location, please comment. Im guessing the date is some time in the early to mid 1950s; its hard to say definitively since there are no automobiles or other features to give a clue. A shot with motive power would have been a real help here-i can just picture a set of Fs, or better yet, RS 3s, or better still, a Mohawk on the head end. Its definitely late October to look at the trees. The photo may have been taken by my grandfather, Frank Beckett.
