After many, many years of haggling, an historical railroad bridge in Poughkeepsie, NY was recently turned into a walkway and a state historic site. It's lovely and just what ought to happen! <br /><br />http://nysparks.state.ny.us/parks/178/details.aspxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012326279220882406.post-90707194686841060502010-10-05T12:19:47.124+01:002010-10-05T12:19:47.124+01:00A similar thing happened in my home town several y...A similar thing happened in my home town several years ago. Three boys got drunk and set fire to Mood's Bridge (an old fashioned covered bridge). The borough spent years haggling over what to do and ultimately built a replica (which you saw in a photo I posted recently). While the replica is nice, it doesn't have the history of the original structure. <br /><br />Such a shame to lose such a beautiful historic pier.Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398170245040387614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012326279220882406.post-62137321790320622492010-10-05T11:08:34.957+01:002010-10-05T11:08:34.957+01:00I heard this on the news this morning, so sad to l...I heard this on the news this morning, so sad to lose something like this.
