RaUr

the small, deficit-ridden, single track predecessor ot the west Shore

laid its rails between Ridgetield 8Jld Tappe in 1873.

The t a ct

that the liDe was unable t o get i ts freight and passengers to Nev
York City spelled the early doom

ot this line.

The liDe changed hands several times until a group at anti- Van
derbilt railroaders, lead by George Pullman, saw great potential in
it.

They would use it. tracks as a base tor a railroad eD

der to allow express trains not making any stops below Haworth t o
use the second t rack

to pass locals eouth ot Dumont and to do the

reverse in the evening, reverse signaling would have to be provided

on both these tracks. Spring switches at t he ends of the dounble track
