New DL&W Sign Richfield Springs

Here's a recently erected sign touting DL&W heritage along US Rt 20 in Richfield Springs.

Info about the developers of this abandoned ROW here:

Interesting - Didn't know the Phoebe Snow served Richfield Springs!

I thought a group was planning a narrow gauge railroad on part of that line.

NG info included in the link provided.

So these 2 RR bridges over RT 20 that I saw while drove through this past spring to Cobleskill SUNY belong to DLW??

I forget to post about these 2 bridges I saw to ask about what RR ran through that area.

A friend and I took a ride there several years ago they were having an open house at the dairy there wer a few people around. Not a hole lot going on they had a few photos from along the line from years back. The old Frontier Town train was sitting on a short section of track across the road . It was still there around two years ago.

The bridge in Sangerfield is ex-DL&W, looks to be state build from when 20 was made 4 lanes, used today by the NYS&W.

The only other bridge I know of in that stretch is past the end of this line, in Cherry Valley, also built by the state when that portion of 20 was made 4 lanes with an interstate style exit to NY-166, for the former D&H Cherry Valley branch which was abandoned not long after the bridge was built.

The former Richfield Springs branch crosses Rt. 20 three times, all at grade.

The Syracuse branch also crosses 20 with a bridge, way back at Onativia not far from I-81.
