Highland has a new railway station and it will be open for business this Friday, Aug. 24. Although it looks like a railway station, it’s really the former freight house for the George W. Pratt & Son lumberyard, which opened in 1889. That was the same year in which the Poughkeepsie/Highland railroad bridge opened, which has now been converted into a state park: the Walkway Over the Hudson, the longest elevated pedestrian walkway in the world.
