New York, Ontario & Western Old Warren Truss Bridge

I normally skip Eastern railroads because learning the Midwest railroads has been a challenge. But when I noticed this old truss is a Warren Truss, I decided it is worth noting.

Andrew Vos Jr I rode the O&W (folks called it the "Old Woman") in the early 1950s a couple of times to go to the Pine Bush Bible Camp near Middletown NY.

The L&NE also had an old Warren Truss. Mike Helbing shared two photos with the Metrotrails' comment:

Metrotrails Then and Now Series: This view from the Portland-Columbia Bridge (likely the original covered bridge) toward the Delaware Water Gap was obscured by the trestle of the Lehigh and New England Railroad until it was abandoned in Oct 1961 and demolished. Few who cross the foot bridge that stands in the covered bridge's place know another railroad once crossed at this point.
