Hot Spots 5 Selkirk

Selkirk, New York is home to the biggest railroad yard in the northeast. This former New York Central, then Conrail, Yard, is now owned by CSX. The west end of the yard is where you’ll see Chicago Line trains, and the east end hosts trains for the Boston Line, the River Line and the branch to the Port of Albany. Highball Productions spent two snowy winter days at Selkirk shortly after the Conrail sale that brought Selkirk Yard to CSX. There’s still Conrail power to be seen. Selkirk has always been an exciting place to railfan, and is even more so when the snow flies. Check out the northeast’s favorite hot spot!
