Valley Cottage
The northern end of the controlled siding between CP 22 and CP 26 is in Valley Cottage, just south of the Kings Highway grade crossing. Crew changes often take place there.
Getting there: Heading north on Route 303, pass the NY Thruway entrance in West Nyack and the traffic light at Palisades Center Drive. Then, almost immediately, turn left (west) off Route 303 into Casper Hill Road, which becomes Kings Highway at the top of the hill. Continue on Kings Highway to the tracks.
