The Hudson Valley Rail Trail is a paved 4-mile (6.4 km) east–west rail trail in the town of Lloyd in Ulster County, New York, stretching from the Hudson River through the hamlet of Highland. The trail was originally part of the Poughkeepsie Bridge Route, a rail corridor that crossed the Hudson via the Poughkeepsie Bridge. Controlled by a variety of railroads throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, the bridge was damaged and became unusable after a May 8, 1974 fire. By the 1980s, the corridor's then-owner, Conrail, had routed all rail traffic in the region north through Selkirk Yard and was eager to relieve itself of the bridge and adjoining rights-of-way. In 1984, it sold the entire property for one dollar to a felon who did not maintain it or pay taxes on it. The section of the corridor w

  • El Hudson Valley Rail Trail (traducido como Sendero ferroviario del Valle de Hudson) es un pavimentado de 4 millas de distancia (6.4 kilómetros) de este a oeste en la ciudad de Lloyd en el condado de Ulster, Nueva York, extendiéndose desde el Río Hudson hasta Highland. El recorrido era originalmente era parte de la Ruta del Puente de Poughkeepsie, un camino ferroviario que cruzaba la vía de Hudson del Puente de Poughkeepsie. Controlado por una variedad de ferrocarriles durante los ss. XIX y XX, el puente fue dañado y se volvió inutilizable después de un incendio en 1974. En la década de los 80's el entonces propietario del corredor, La Conrail, había enrutado todo el tráfico ferroviario en la región norte de Selkirk, y estaba ansiosa por librarse del puente y agregar derechos de pasaje. En 1984, fue vendida por un dólar aun delincuente que no la mantenía o pagaba por ella. La sección del corredor oeste de Hudson fue adquirida por el condado de Ulster en 1991 y fue transferida a la ciudad de Lloyd. Durante los 90's, una compañía buscaba poner un cable de fibra óptica pagó a la ciudad para que este pasase a través del antiguo corredor. La ciudad utilizó parte de ese pago para pavimentar la ruta y abrirla como un sendero público en 1997. La creación del camino fue apoyada por un club Rotary local, quienes construyeron un pabellón a lo largo del recorrido. Dicho pabellón incluía un antiguo furgón que fue donado. Mientras el tramo originalmente terminaba en la ruta 44-55, esta fue extendida hacia el este entre 2009 y 2010, cruzando la Ruta 9W y continuando hacia el Puente Poughkeepsie. La extensión fue financiada por la Ley de Reinversión y Recuperación de Estados Unidos de 2009. El puente, ahora una acera llamada Walkway Over the Hudson, conecta el tramo con la ruta del ferrocarril de Dutchess hacia el este, creando así un sistema ferroviario de 30 millas (48 kilómetros) que se extiende hacia Hudson. Se espera que el sendero se extienda hacia el Oeste, donde se delimitará con la Ruta 299. A medida que atraviesa Highland, el sendero es conectado por varios puentes, conectando con cuatro áreas de estacionamiento, y atraviesa un complejo de humedales. (es)

In 1984, it sold the entire property for one dollar to a felon who did not maintain it or pay taxes on it. The section of the corridor west of the Hudson was seized by Ulster County in 1991 and transferred to the town of Lloyd. During the 1990s, a broadband utility seeking to lay fiber optic cable paid the town to pass through the former corridor. The town used part of its payment to pave the route and open it as a public rail trail in 1997. The creation of the trail was supported by a local Rotary club, which built a pavilion along the trail. The pavilion includes a donated antique caboose. While the trail originally ended at Route 44–55, it was extended eastward between 2009 and 2010, intersecting Route 9W and continuing to the Poughkeepsie Bridge. The extension was paid for by stimulus funding. The bridge, now a pedestrian walkway called Walkway Over the Hudson, connects the trail with the Dutchess Rail Trail to the east, creating a 30-mile (48 km) rail trail system that spans the Hudson. The trail is expected to be extended west, where it will border Route 299. As it passes through Highland, the trail is carried by several bridges, connects to four parking areas, and traverses a wetlands complex. The trail forms part of the Empire State Trail. (en)
