Arch, Suspension and Railroad Bridges over Popolopen Creek near Bear Mountain

1916 Arch: (Bridge Hunter)

1937 Arch: (Bridge Hunter; Historic Bridges; Satellite) a widening of the 1916 bridge

Suspension: (Bridge Hunter; Satellite)  a pedestrian bridge

Railroad: (Bridge Hunter; Satellite) CSX/NYC/West Shore

The arch and suspension bridges are over the Popolopen Creek near its mouth with the Hudson River and the railroad bridge is at the mouth.

Thanks to the train, the railroad and arch bridges are obvious. The suspension bridge is the light-blue line just a little above the river.

Four New Jersey-bound trains from the Bear Mountain Bridge. Look at that color. October 2006.
[The other three photos is the same scene but with different trains]
Dennis DeBruler: I like the view of the three bridges as well.

Take A Hike. Looking down from the top on Anthony's Nose in the Town of Cortlandt, New York on Friday, May 8, 2015 gives the "bird's eye view" of CSX 3013 (ES44AC-H) leading an intermodal train over Popolopen Creek in Fort Montgomery, New York. There are four bridges in pic (clockwise) - Popolopen Arch Bridge (Route 9W/road), Poplopen Suspension Bridge (pedestrian), Popolopen Creek Trestle (railroad) and the Bear Mountain Bridge (road). If you want to go for a hike here on a summer weekend, get up early - the limited parking fills up very fast.

A cloudy sky, but you can see past the trees.
