The Castleton Subdivision is a railroad line owned and operated by CSX Transportation in the U.S. state of New York . The line runs from Schodack northwest to Selkirk [1] along a former New York Central Railroad line. At its southeast end, it junctions with the Berkshire Subdivision and Schodack Subdivision . After crossing the Hudson River on the Alfred H. Smith Memorial Bridge , it meets the River Subdivision and Port Subdivision at Selkirk and ends at Selkirk Yard , where the Selkirk Subdivision begins. [2] [3]
History
The entire Castleton Subdivision was opened in 1924 by the Hudson River Connecting Railroad as part of a bypass around Albany . [4] The line became part of the New York Central and Conrail through leases, mergers, and takeovers, and was assigned to CSX in the 1999 breakup of Conrail.
