Location Map
Background
The South County Trailway is a paved bicycle and
pedestrian path located primarily on right-of-way
lands of the former Putnam Division of the New
York Central Railroad. The “Old Put,” as it was
fondly referred to by commuters, provided freight
and passenger service from 1881 to 1958 between
the Bronx and Putnam County. Freight service continued to operate sporadically from Elmsford south,
with the last freight train making its final run in
August 1982.
The Putnam Railway once served 23 stations in
Westchester, some of which still stand today. The
former Elmsford station is the only remaining station
structure along the South County Trailway. It now
houses a restaurant. Historic markers have been
placed at most of the former station locations.
The location map to the left shows the general location of the trailway. Larger scale maps on the reverse
side detail the trailway alignment, access points,
local roads and nearby parks and facilities.
The Putnam Right-of-Way spans 36.2 linear miles
through Westchester County, of which 14.1 miles
comprise the South County Trailway, from Eastview
south to the New York City border. The remaining
22.1 miles, north of Eastview to Putnam County, is
developed as the North County Trailway.
The South County Trailway is one element of the
County’s extensive trail system that also includes the
Bronx River Pathway, Briarcliff-Peekskill Trailway,
and many other planned paths and bike routes along
the county’s roadways.

Joseph A. Stout, Commissioner

County, from Eastview to the New York City line.
