As seen in the last post, here is the same fantrip along the Newburgh Branch about to cross the "Otterkill Bridge" in Salisbury Mills NY. The Otterkill bridge is one of five bridges that the Erie passes over to cross the Moodna Creek, which follows the Newburgh Branch all the way from Greycourt to Salisbury Mills. Bridges, in general, were a big part of this branch as there were fifteen bridges on the entire branch and nine of them lie between Vails Gate and Greycourt. Out of these nine, eight survive with Jackson Ave. in Cornwall removed in the 1980's. The Otterkill Bridge remains today, hidden from site off Orrs Mills Rd in Salisbury Mills NY.
