West Haverstraw, NY station area, looking north, seen from overpass, April 29, 1970
Boxcars are a Reading and a Penn-Central. Station at left was green, and seemed
to be serving as a freight office.
Another view of the West Haverstraw station on the same time & date.
Looking southbound further south in Haverstraw (4/29/70),
reconditioned station owned by local business renamed "Railroad Square".

Scroll to the right (if need be) to see the entire image. Due to size,
I've divided it into 4 parts, the first 2 are the outer parts, and the
last 2 comprise the inner full-length section.
