This morning, many O&W related email lists are reporting that the Middletown station is on fire. No reports on the extent of damage yet. Joshua |

Poster on Railroad.net- "City of Middletown FD responding to fire on the roof of "Old O&W" Station. At 8:32, the entire Middletown FD was committed at the scene with multiple mutual aid companies en route to the scene." "Pretty serious fire. At 0907 they were still calling additional units to the scene. I lost count, but I'm pretty sure there are at least 14 pieces of apparatus there now." "Every FD along NY 17 and I-84 from Monroe west to Port Jervis (actually Greenville) is involved one way or another. Still a glimmer of hope- as of about 9:50 the crews were still operating inside the building." |

At one point it had a restaurant or coffee shop in one end; I *believe* at the time of the fire it was vacant and for sale. It is a much larger than average building, for it also served as the headquarters of the NYO&W. LNER4472-NOSPAM-@bcpl.net |
