I don't understand how the Clove Branch comes into this picture. The Clove Branch is nowhere near Carmel. RussNelson 04:49, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
- See Talk:Newburg, Dutchess and Connecticut Railroad. The Dutchess & Putnam was supposed to build through the difficult country north of Carmel (some grading actually done, and parts used by the NY&NE), emerge from the mountains near Poughquag (but running along the east face of the valley, where the NY&NE runs along the west face and then "rounds the point"), make a long curve to the west and connect to the Clove Branch at Clove Valley. This would have connected the Putnam line to the Dutchess & Columbia running north to Boston Corners, and so forth to Vermont, etc. as the unified NYB&M. Choess 06:33, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks, Choess. Why is the Dutchess & Putnam not linked as a page? I think that the line should be drawn at paper railroads, but if a railroad had any grading done, I think it makes sense to have a Wikipedia page for it, since there are physical remains to explore.
