<strong>Erie</strong> <strong>Railroad</strong> s <strong>Newburgh</strong> <strong>Branch</strong> (Robert McCue) For over 130 years, the <strong>Erie</strong> <strong>Railroad</strong> s <strong>Newburgh</strong> branch was a key factor in the economic and social life of the city of <strong>Newburgh</strong>, New York, and the towns that had stations along its 19-mile route between <strong>Newburgh</strong> and the <strong>Erie</strong> main line. Only five miles of this once vital rail link survive today.
