Historical Context
With the advent of the construction of the Poughkeepsie Bridge and the extension of the Central New England and Western Railroad westward to Maybrook, New York, the Lehigh and Hudson River interests organized the Orange County Railroad Company, in 1888, to construct a line from Greycourt to Maybrook, 10.7 miles, passing through Burnside where a connection was also made with the New York, Ontario and Western Railway. This extension opened in 1890, was immediately leased to the Lehigh and Hudson River, and later merged into that company.
The company shipped goods such as anthracite and bituminous coal, farm perishables, iron, steel, and petroleum.
