Hudson River Bridge of the Month

From Mills Point

With only one day left in the month, I had to go to the bridge nearest me if I wanted to have a bridge of the month.  If I were to do this, I decided it had to be from a different perspective.  So I walked north along the railroad tracks from Rhineciff to the base of the bridge.  I had been out here once before for a senior skip day, which was held at one of the bridges that crosses the tracks.

A bridge for private use

It's quite an interesting walk.  There are two bridges that cross the tracks about a half mile south of the Kingston Rhinecliff Bridge and clearly visible when crossing the bridge.  While walking out, I passed the Astor Estate where Chelsea Clinton got married.  Nearby, I passed the remains of what appeared to be a train station.  An old boat launch near this station would make a great spot for a picnic.

Despite the warmth, still lots of ice

What I believe to be an old train station or its a water pump station

It took almost two hours to reach the bridge.  Though I have passed over the bridge countless times, I know of only one other time I have passed underneath (via boat).  It was kind of cool listening to the cars pass overhead while watching the sun set.
