North County Trailway
The North County Trailway is a long rail trail stretching from Eastview to Baldwin Place in Westchester County, New York.
The North County Trailway was constructed along the Putnam Division railbed of the former New York Central Railroad. At its north end it becomes the Putnam County Trailway, which continues along the former railbed to Brewster, New York.
It connects to the South County Trailway in Eastview, also built along the former railroad.
While primarily a dedicated multi-use path, trail users are directed by signs to use a highway shoulder for two sections between Briarcliff Manor and Millwood.
The Putnam Division provided freight and passenger service from 1881 to 1958 between the Bronx and Putnam County. The railroad served 23 stations in Westchester County. Historic marker plaques have been placed at most of the former stations.
In 2019, County Executive George Latimer announced that $8.7 million would be dedicated to improving the trailway. The project is expected to be done in 2020.
