"DSC_0208_resize.jpg" - image/jpeg, 2400x1600 (24bit)

Our family decided to hike up Mount Tammany (the NJ side of the Del Water Gap) this past weekend in all its autumn splendor. I've
attached a few shots of the views up there, focusing on the railroad....

0208 shows the line running along the Delaware, from the beach on the river. The D-L still uses this line.
0212 shows the famed "Point of Gap" curve - those are the trees on the right half of the image (they've grown in since EL days!)
0216 and 0221 are from the half-way overlook, looking south down the river.
0249 is looking down from the top overlook at Point of Gap curve, replicating the Bob Bahrs/Mike Miterko shots that have been seen
in print.
0251 looks down river. If you look closely at the upper left, three miles downstream is the Delaware River Viaduct.
0252 looks northwest up the S-curve of the river, where the DL&W took many publicity shots.
0255 zooms in a bit on the bridge....
and 0261 I used my telephoto lens to shoot the structure.

For the record, my smartphone elevation app shows the difference in elevation from the river to the top overlook is 1050 feet. Man,
I felt the burn in my legs the next day! :)

A highly recommended hike!

Enjoy!
