RJR posted:The West Side cowboys actually rode down 11th Ave ahead of locos to warn drayers and others a loco was coming.
Regarding the 2 pictures of the swing bridge at Spuytun Duyvil: The curve on the line that doesn't cross the bridge is also the location of the recent Metro North commuter train derailment.
I've been searching for a book that features a good amount of quality photos of the ground level line down 11th Avenue for some time with no luck; can anyone recommend such a book if one does in fact exist ? Thank you.
