WEST DAVENPORT is now reached, and you are at one hundred and four miles from the Hudson. The elevation is 1,178 feet. This is one of the important connections on the line, and the point where passengers are transferred to the Cooperstown & Charlotte Valley Railroad.

This will be the popular route for tourists bound for Cooperstown and Richfield Springs. The variety of scenery through the "Haunts of Rip Van Winkle" after a trip along the famous Hudson river, either by rail or boat, thence through the Charlotte Valley will make this a charming trip and the favorite route to these popular resorts.

(Webmaster's note: owing to the writer's extensive narrative about Cooperstown, a separate Cooperstown page has been created).
