I can’t find any solid info when/if the Starucca was placed out of service.

Any info/insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I believe it is still in use by the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway.

Concur - it’s still in use. instead, it was the former Delaware & Hudson track beneath Starucca that was removed, a little post-ConRail implementation, if I recall correctly - probably the early 1980’s. It’s now a rail-trail (one that I haven’t been on - yet !).

I haven’t been down that way recently. The viaduct is on the NYS&W line between Port Jervis and Binghampton - used, I think, by NS. Anything you can find about that line will be indicative of the status of the viaduct.
