Celebrate the story of a distinctive northeastern bridge line with this Lehigh and Hudson River Railway fridge magnet. The L&HR connected freight routes across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York, reaching Maybrook and the Poughkeepsie Bridge connection toward New England. Its history reflects both local traffic, including dairy, coal, and zinc, and the broader changes that ended passenger service and brought the railway into Conrail. A small keepsake for railroad collectors and regional transportation enthusiasts.
The Lehigh and Hudson River Railway (L&HR) grew from the Warwick Valley Railroad, organized in 1860 to connect Warwick, New York, with the Erie at Greycourt. The Warwick line opened in 1862. In 1881, the Lehigh and Hudson River, Pequest and Wallkill, and Wawayanda companies combined; the Warwick Valley joined on April 1, 1882, creating the L&HR. Its route linked Belvidere, New Jersey, and Greycourt, later extending northeast to Maybrook, where freight could continue over the Poughkeepsie Bridge toward New England. A Delaware River bridge and related railroad companies were consolidated with the L&HR in 1912, completing a connection to Easton, Pennsylvania. The 72-mile bridge line carried freight between connecting railroads, while also serving local dairy, coal, and zinc traffic. Passenger service ended in 1939, and steam gave way to diesel locomotives by 1950. After filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 1972, the railway was absorbed into Conrail in 1976. Later, sections passed to successor operators, including the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway and Norfolk Southern; parts of the former route were abandoned or became trails.
