FACILITIES FOR TRANSPORTATION 



Railroads

 Albany and Montreal passes through the west side of the county. 

 A branch extends from Eagle Bridge on the south side of the 

 county to Rutland, Vermont. This road also runs milk service to 

 Xew York City and over the eastern division to Xew England 

 points. 



It affords excellent facilities for shipping to northern points 

 and also connects with the mining region of eastern Pennsylvania. 

 It makes connections with the Rutland Railroad for Vermont 

 and Canadian points and with the Boston and Elaine for Boston 

 and other eastern markets. 



The Greenwich and Johnsonville railroad extends from Thomp- 

 son to the eastern branch of the Delaware and Hudson, and from 

 Greenwich south to Johnsonville, in Rensselaer County, where it 

 connects with the Boston and Maine.

 of the county from Glens Falls to Albany, with a branch extend- 

 ing from Thompson to Greenwich.
