Talk:Croton–Harmon station

Comment

To the best of my knowledge, "Harmon, New York" is a vestigal term referring to a part of the village long since absorbed. While I think it is worth mentioning on the Croton-on-Hudson page, I see no reason to list it here, at least not without a clear explanation that there no longer is a "Harmon, New York." I am removing that name. --Do Not Talk About Feitclub (contributions) 06:37, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

FYI I believe The Metro-North maintenance and repair facilities are called "Harmon Yards" (for example, http://www.progressiverailroading.com/transitnews/article.asp?id=9271). --Dglosser 22:18, 4 October 2006 (UTC) FYI: Yes, we called them "The Shops" for Harmon Shops and Harmon Yards was the more formal term. In the 40s the New York Central allowed my Father, Arthur George Newbery, Sr. to rent an old railroad dining car and prepare meals for the shop workers. My brother, Arthur George Newbery, Jr. (now deceased) and I worked there as teens. I worked the counter and cash register; my brother cleaned the dining counters, washed dishes; and my Father did the cooking. There was black soot everywhere. We lived in Croton where my parents remained (at Black Rock) until a Hurricane damaged the Croton Dam and flooded their home on the Croton River sometime in the 70s or later I think, (Irene?) When I lived there Harmon was a very clearly defined town with no government that I can recall, but we all knew where it's borders were and where Croton's began. I attended Croton-Harmon High School which I believe contained grades 7 through 12. My Dad's diner was the original New York Central dining car and was basically unchanged when he rented it. It was located just about 20 or so footsteps from one of the shops and we could see and hear the engines that were being maintained there. We often rode the train into New York City to visit my grandparents in the Bronx and Newark, N.J. and to occasionally visit Yankee Stadium and The Polo Grounds. junewbery@centurylink.net — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.233.67.50 (talk) 10:06, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
