Well after I got done exploring the train station a half mile down the tracks I started trecking up the tracks to see what I could find.
My best guess would be that it was built in 1888 or earlyer. It is still used to this day but not too often from what I hear. It has a good view of the Erie Canal and some of the boats that pass under it.
When I got done walking across it I headed down a path under it and I found a tag of good ol’ Charlie on a cable box.
--Just for that, I had to. Stickin it to the man.
--Your guess is as good as mine of what these could be.
--Those rocks were loose as shit and I lost my footing and fell right on my ass. I had a good lol and continued.
--I seen that assholes tag’ in 7 places, 1 of which was on this bridge.
--You can see the crystal clear canal.
--Just another view of the bridge.
--Im guessing that their was a people bridge here at one time too, either that or a matienence platform. The wood was rotting away and I got the bright idea to...
--...monkey around on some of the supports. Below me was about a 50’ drop (50 Feet=15 Meters) to some murkey water. I hung onto that railing and inched my way onto some of the beams, needless to say I didnt traverse my entire way across. I didnt go the entire way across like this because I didnt want to be seen doing idiotic things and I didnt want to fall.
--The cross beams that held this bridge up. I carefully walked some of them to get this shot.
--Under the bridge and I was on the path where about 30’ up was Charlie Manson.
--Top of the box.
--Side of the box.
That was the coolest piece of graffiti I have ever seen. I had another good lol for the day when I seen it.
--The bridge from the Erie Canal lock system.
Nothing too interesting but I had a grand old time climbing around on the thing. It was really neat to sit on the edge of it and just chill. After this I went looking around for another place to explore, and to my avail, no less then 30’ away....A motorcycle junkyard.

That pipe was probably a gas pipe. It’d be inconvenient to bury the pipe underwater, where a boat could potentially run aground and hit it, and gas pipes can’t be placed on automotive bridges where cars could hit them. On rail bridges, they are hidden in plain sight.
Here, you can see the tracks on the left side of the picture, making a sharp turn, and laid on a flat spot that was dynamited into a hill over a century ago. On the right are some reflective pylons. These mark the spot where fiberoptic lines are buried, which are probably an internet backbone line, hidden in plain sight along a railbed. Before that, there were fiberoptic internet backbones buried on the roadbed along the Pennsylvania Turnpike, hidden in a channel on the bottoms of the concrete barricades in the middle of the road. Problem was anytime some drunk or some coked-up truck driver hit the barricade hard enough to knock it over, it’d sever the line, necessitating a tedious fiber-by-fiber repair.
