Poughkeepsie & Eastern RR North from Poughkeepsie
Part of the The Central New England Railway (CNE)
was the Poughkeepsie & Eastern (P&E). This section ran North from Poughkeepsie. The name P&E did not actually last very long. It started out in 1872 as the P&E Railroad but the name was changed shortly to PH&B. A few years later it became the NY&M and then in 1893 it was changed back to P&E Railway. This was all the same railroad with different names. It was abandoned by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad.
