Products and brands
Starting in 1967, the Napierville Junction Railway had two MLW RS-2 locomotives and 4 cabooses which served to pull consists from Upper New York State to Montreal, QC. For clearing the train crew through customs and passengers, the Lacolle railway station in Lacolle, Quebec, (7 miles from the NY state border) served as the stop for the NJR. From customs to maintenance this was the NJR's operating office, which then led to the Delaware and Hudson headquarters in Albany, NY.
The Canadian Pacific Railway assumed control of the Napierville Junction Railway along with the Delaware and Hudson in 1991. The Napierville Junction Railway's line between Rouses Point and Delson is called the Lacolle Subdivision.
