==Infrastructure== ===Transportation=== Two state highways and two county roads serve Walden. Route 52 crosses the town from east to west, providing connections to [[Newburgh (city), New York|Newburgh]], {{convert|12|mi|km}} in the former direction and [[Pine Bush, New York|Pine Bush]], the [[Shawangunk Ridge|Shawangunks]] and the [[Catskill Mountains|Catskills]] in the latter. [[New York State Route 208|NY 208]] crosses from north to south, with the nearest settlements in each direction being [[Wallkill, Ulster County, New York|Wallkill]] and [[Maybrook, New York|Maybrook]], respectively. The two [[concurrency (road)|share]] a brief block in the center of town. Most traffic from outside the area comes in via Route 208 from the south due to its exit on [[Interstate 84 in New York|Interstate 84]] about {{convert|5|mi|km|spell=in}} south of the village, as well as its intersection with paralleling [[New York State Route 17K|NY 17K]] at Scotts Corners {{convert|3|mi|km|spell=in}} to the south. County routes [[County Route 23 (Orange County, New York)|23]] (River Road) and [[County Route 75 (Orange County, New York)|75]] (Coldenham Road) connect to 17K at [[Montgomery (village), New York|Montgomery]] to the southwest and the hamlet of Coldenham to the southeast, respectively. The remaining spur of the old [[Wallkill Valley Railroad]], now operated by [[Norfolk Southern]], serves several businesses in the village and ends just short of East Main Street. There have been suggestions that [[commuter rail]] service via the [[Metro-North Railroad|Metro-North]] [[Port Jervis Line (Metro-North)|Port Jervis Line]], where the spur connects at [[Campbell Hall (Metro-North station)|Campbell Hall]], currently the nearest passenger rail station, be initiated. Metro-North rail service directly into New York City is available just across the [[Hudson River]] from Newburgh at [[Beacon (Metro-North station)|Beacon]] and other stations on the [[Hudson Line (Metro-North)|Hudson Line]]. [[Amtrak]] stops at [[Poughkeepsie (Metro-North station)|Poughkeepsie]], the Hudson Line's northern terminus. The nearest airport to Walden, [[Orange County Airport (New York)|Orange County Airport]], is a [[general aviation]] facility just south of Montgomery. Commercial airlines, both freight and passenger, fly out of [[Stewart International Airport]]. [[Short Line (bus company)|Short Line]] serves Walden on its route from [[Newburgh, New York|Newburgh]] to [[Middletown, Orange County, New York|Middletown]].<ref>{{Cite web| title = Getting Here {{!}} The Village of Walden| access-date = January 28, 2020| url = https://villageofwalden.org/visitors/getting-here}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal| pages = 2| last1 = Rt| first1 = Liberty| last2 = Sheldrake| first2 = Loch| last3 = Sheldrake| first3 = Loch| last4 = Sheld| first4 = Loch| last5 = Sheldrake| first5 = Loch| last6 = Sheld| first6 = Loch| title = 1B Liberty ® Sheldrake ® Fallsburg ® Monticello ®®® DAILY}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web| title = Short Line Bus {{!}} Schedule Details| access-date = January 28, 2020| url = https://web.coachusa.com/shortline/ss.details.asp?action=Lookup&c1=Walden&s1=NY&c2=Coldenham&s2=NY&resultId=195051&order=&dayFilter=&scheduleChoice=&sitePageName=&nt=1%2Findex%2Easp&cbid=66128436058}}</ref>
