Admit it, readers – somewhere in the back of your head you were wondering when I’d get around to showing you more railroad-themed postcards. My postcard collecting addiction has been well documented, and roughly every other month I do a new post full of my newly acquired cards. Today’s lineup includes Amenia, one of the abandoned Upper Harlem stations, and Towners, another abandoned station. There are also a few cards of station buildings still around today, like Katonah, Bedford Hills, and Scarsdale.

Again, I must sincerely thank Steve Swirsky for his wonderful contributions to our extensive collection of postcards. The Dover Plains, Towners, and White Plains cards are all from his collection.

  1. Cool. One of those Lionel-inspiration S motors at White Plains, and four-quadrant crossing protection the old-fashioned way at Mt. Kisco.

    Cool postcards as I am a postcard nut! I used to work for Metro North years ago…. Love the Harlem & Hudson lines…

    Cool postcards. I like the Valhalla one pre-parkway. I think the building on the left foreground was the old family store before they moved next to the North White Plains yard (as a little kid I thought it was so cool that the rail siding in NWP went through the building). The building on the right of course is the station.
