- Very nice article Len. About the Poughkeepsie bridge, what was
- the extent of the fire. In all the literature I read they allude to
- the damage by the fire, but never describe the circumstances or
- the actual results. Was this a wooden bridge that was completely
- burned or a steel structure that warped and feel. If it was steel
- how could a fire destroy it unless it was the ties that contributed
- to the blaze.
-
- Just where was the bridge located in relation to the Bear Mountain
- auto bridge? North or south, and could you see the old New Haven
- bridge fom there? I am interested because I feel the demise of
- the Erie-Lackawanna was probably accelerated due to the loss of
- New England traffic from/to Maybrook.
