The Stately Wilbur Trestle |
| Description: |
Just a shot of the Wilbur Trestle that most of you probably havent seen before. It was originally double-tracked. The tunnel was recently raised on the left side to accomidate stack trains. It aint pretty but it does the job. The bridge literally begins at the mouth of the tunnel. It stands over 150 feet above the Rondout Creek below. The quaint little village below is actually part of Kingston City proper. |

This auto rack came by at track speed (40) and flew accross the trestle. The folks that were on the riverline yesterday saw this engine lead an intermodal south. Today it comes right back north heading for Selkirk. |

| Description: |
As the sludge train exits the tunnel, my tripod begins to sink in the snowbank as I click away not noticing the increasing tilt.... |

Gunning it south |
| Description: |
The friendly crew of this train gives me a wave and a couple of toots as they pass by. Meanwhile, I am frantically trying to straighten my tripod as I get off the last couple of shots, to no avail. |

ICE on the Hudson |
| Description: |
I got a heads up from a fellow railfan down south. The lighting wasnt good, but the opportunity to get foreign power along the RiverLine is always a thrill! That is the Mid-Hudson Bridge in the background, that takes Rt. US44 and NY55 to Poughkeepsie. |

Rounding the big curve |

Alongside the Rockslide fence, a rare peek of sun lights this southbound intermodal nicely. In honor of the old Chessie System, someone peeled off the X on the nose. |

A chilly parting shot... |
| Description: |
Mr. Columbus is freeeezzzziiinnngggg as he points the way south, and this last train of my day drifts by. Again, the sun decided to go away as this train passed. The Newburgh waterfront, usually buzzing with activity, is completely barren, like an arctic tundra today. |
