Title
McCarthy Album 09, Photograph 141
Description
Caption: "Hudson River," c. 1925. A train crosses high above the Hudson River over the Poughkeepsie-Highland Railroad Bridge. Buildings of the C.N. Arnold Co., a lumber company, sit on the bank of the river in the foreground. The Poughkeepsie-Highland Railroad Bridge first began operation in 1889. The tracks were destroyed by a fire in 1974, but the bridge was subsequently rebuilt, opening as the Walkway Over the Hudson (a pedestrian bridge) in 2003.
