Florida was one of several rural ERIE stations on
the Pine Island Branch. Although the branch was ERIE, the L&NE
provided most of the traffic passing through these small farming communities with their daily parade of heavy freight trains. The
ERIE acknowledged the volume of L&NE
traffic over the branch by aligning their turnout at
Pine Island Junction for the L&NE. The
maximum speed on both the Pine Island and Montgomery Branches was 35
miles-per-hour. - circa 1960 - photographer unknown
At Goshen the
L&NE crossed the ERIE mainline west of the passenger station, passing
from the Pine Island Branch to the Montgomery Branch. After
traveling 5.5 miles on the Montgomery Branch and passing through MQ
Interlocking (where the ERIE's double-tracked, minimum-grade,
Graham Line freight route crossed the Montgomery Branch) the L&NE
connected with the NYNH&H at Campbell Hall. The L&NE entered
Maybrook on NYNH&H trackage rights. In this view from the ERIE
mainline, the Montgomery Branch is to the left. The junction with the
Pine Island Branch is behind the photographer on the south side of the
mainline (to the right). - eastward view,
