That is an interesting bridge. I am unfamiliar with that area, is it still in use and if so by what railroad? Sorry you didn't get a sunnier day to get your shots in.

Nope, the bridge hasn't been used since a fire in May of 1974. Damage wasn't super bad, but it didn't see much traffic, and Penn Central didn't want to repair it (there were rumors that they let if burn since they didn't want it anymore).

Some good info. http://www.catskillarchive.com/rrextra/pbpage.Html

They want to reopen it as a walkway now. http://www.walkway.org/
