Air Line Trail Article

By clicking on the link below you will be able to read an article about the Air Line Trail that extends from East Hampton to Windam. Air Line State Park Trail showcases the engineering behind the Air Line Railroad, laid down through this hilly region in 1873 as a direct route between Boston and New York. As its name implies, the tracks ran flat and straight, like 'a line in the air'.

The article appeared in the Fall 2006 edition of Rail to Trails Magazine
