The Graham Line (also known as the Guymard Cutoff) is the portion of the former Erie Railroad in New York State from Highland Mills (at about 41°20′35″N 74°07′12″W / 41.343°N 74.120°W / 41.343; -74.120) to Guymard (at about 41°25′44″N 74°35′42″W / 41.429°N 74.595°W / 41.429; -74.595), constructed from 1906 to 1909 as a high-speed freight line. The Graham Line bypasses the original Erie Main Line through Monroe, Chester, Goshen and Middletown.
