• 'F' is for the 'Flyer' (nyacknewsandviews.com) — A historic commuter train once stopped in Sparkill on its express run between Nyack and Jersey City, linking local riders to Wall Street in about 70 minutes. This richly detailed history traces how the Northern Railroad and its famed “Flyer” shaped Nyack and nearby river villages, and how highways and cars eventually ended passenger rail service by 1965.
