Passenger Timetable for the Erie Railroad, New York & New Jersey Railroad and Piermont Branch, effective 1931-09-27

The rail line is an active Norfolk Southern line between Suffern and Tallman. Train H55, based out of Hillburn Yard, runs down the line.[1] Overgrown tracks remain between Tallman and Spring Valley station.[2][3][4][5] The Pascack Valley Line follows the route of the Piermont Branch from Spring Valley to Nanuet. Between Nanuet and Blauvelt, there are very few remnants. The only remnants in this section are a surviving Milepost 8 marker,[6] and a bridge over a creek that carries nothing. Past Blauvelt, the line has been converted to rail trails: the Joseph B. Clarke Rail Trail from Blauvelt to Sparkill; the Old Erie Path from Sparkill to South Nyack and the Raymond G. Esposito Trail from South Nyack to Nyack. The line terminated at Franklin Street in Nyack.
