O&W By The Mile

   This listing is an attempt to show all the information without regard to any particular period. The mileposts and call letters changed over time in the employee timetables. The Northern Division is set up with the main line as of 1954. I have not found information at locations indicated by a Call Letter —> or <— Mile Post or a ?.

     I would like to thank David Ackerman, Peter Brill, Carl Detwyler, Richard Howe, Walt Kierzkowski, Robert Mohowski, and John Taibi for their help on this project. Any information concerning missing information, or new information should be sent to  owrhs@nyow.org
