DELAWARE & NORTHERN HISTORY
The Delaware & Northern (started in 1905 as the Delaware & Eastern, and renamed after an early bankruptcy) connected with the Ulster & Delaware at Arkville, following the East Branch of the Delaware River through Margaretville, largely along the route of present New York Highway 30 to East Branch, NY where it met the main line of the Ontario & Western; there was also a branch up the hill from Union Grove to Andes. (Incredibly, the Andes station survives today, 70 years after the branch was abandoned, as part of a lumberyard). While there were at one time grand ambitions to extend the D&N south to the Pennsylvania anthracite regions, and north to the Mohawk Valley - and, astonishingly, enough money was actually spent to leave bridge abutments that survived into the 1960's, and grading that survives today - nothing ever came of that scheme, and the road languished for less than 40 years from birth to death along the East Branch of the Delaware. Its claim to fame was the Red Heifer, a Brill gas-electric that handled almost all the business from 1926 until the railroad's end in 1942.
