Thanks Tim.

My understanding of the "Old Put" railroad is that the nickname was derived from the northern end of the line was in Brewster, NY in Putnam County.

Putnam County was obviously named after someone named Putnam though, possibly the Revolutionary War guy or another famous historical Putnam from New York State.

Who knows for sure? Certainly not me.
