This line was bought by the Erie railroad, which served the town until the 1970s.
As a result of supposed unusual sightings, during the mid-1980s (and especially following the publicaiton of Silent Invasion: The Shocking Discoveries of a UFO Researcher, by Ellen Crystall), Pine Bush developed a reputation as the UFO capital of New York.[1]
