Re: (erielack) Erie Shin Hollow bridge

Lance, 
 
This bridge seems pretty much typical of old bridges crossing a RR. They  
were, for the most part, pretty spidery and probably date back to the early  
1900's. The B&O had several like this in our area. If fact, one just got  
wiped out by a CSX derailment in Niles, Oh. a while back. The bridge was  
actually owned by CSX and they will build a new bridge.

Doesn't  this look like a old turntable bridge? Talk about a bridge to 
nowhere. I  wonder what the Erie-Lackawanna paid in taxes on this? I would guess 
it was  built and maintained by them. There are some groups trying to 
replace  their turntables. I do hope someone sees this and makes a offer. I 
can't help  myself, but when I look at the Erie main or where it was. I see 
Chicago, not  Port Jervis at the end of it. Next time I'm on the train here. 
I hope I'm in  position to see it.  Lackawanna Lance
