Had a Union meeting this a.m. and on my way home stopped by this overpass from the first paved parkway in USA. and last standing bridge from it. Just a spot from many of a bucket list. 2 hours of pull tabs later and closure. 38 special live round- FA 2 08 (Frankford Arsenal Feb 1908), the weapon of choice from the NY State Police from that time. The bridge was built 1910. Close enough for me, enough pull tabs.
