Reading in another thread, I saw Mouse post this:


Another Trails to rail section is a narrow gauge railway bed in New York between Graymoor Friary and the Shenandoah tenting area. It features both cuts and high masonry embankments like stone walls on steroids.

I can't remember, but I know somewhere around there, that is to say, in NY or perhaps CT, there was this weird section of hiking, where it was like walking along an old path/stone wall. There were cuts, and across some large dips (like mini valleys between mini ridges) was a "bridge" like walking over the top of a stone wall. I remember being puzzled about it when I hiked through it. Thought it was maybe an old cart path.

Are we talking about the same thing, or are there two places like this? I don't remember it being around Graymoor, but then I can't remember where the Shenandoah tenting area is. If it's north of Graymoor, it could be the same one. But not south of it, because I remember that day pretty well and that wasn't the day I hiked by this thing.

Always meant to find out about it, but forgot until today.
