I'll second that, Todd, I hadn't previously seen photos of EL power on Poughkeepsie bridge. It's unfortunate the magnificant structure was rendered unservicable in that manner, but since the Maybrook gateway was drying up, it would soon have become derelict anyway. However it lives on in my imagination, since on my EL Binghamton layout, the Maybrook route survives. Paul B Paul R.

The first shot is the one I referenced, with the tri-level autoracks....." Paul, please excuse my tardiness in doing so, but I'd like to say thanks for posting the photos. It made my day! That will always be my favorite bridge, I saw it many times as a kid on road trips visiting relatives. Before and after the fire. Thanks again. Todd K.
