Pipe Bridge Over The Tracks

March 30, 2012

The one day I got stuck in traffic on the Hiedleburg Viaduct.   Over the tracks is a little pipe bridge, a truss that carries a pipe across the tracks.   It probably had some function to serve the Hiedleburg Colliery that was on the other side.

(Why is the distance

to Hoboken in many,
 many years ???)
