The former Erie bridge at Letchworth Park in upper New York State was build in 1875 and until a few weeks ago carried Norfolk Southern's "Souther Tier" mainline trains. The first picture was taken last November when a new bridge was near completion, but the train is on the original 1875 structure. Speed on the old bridge was limited to 10 mph. The third picture provides some scenic perspective, it is a dramatic location in a very scenic state park.
