Decorated with Debris.

Once again, no trains in this shot. This is a photo of the railroad bridge that is still in use. Though it survived the floods, it is decorated with the debris from the flooding. It carries the double tracks of the Conrail Lehigh Line over the Raritan River in Bridgewater, NJ. This bridge is approximately twenty feet west of the destroyed bridge and it was difficult for me to believe that this bridge survived the floods, when the other bridge now resembles an amusement park roller-coaster. I don't know how this bridge survived but I was told that a train was stranded on this bridge, during the flood and that, on this day, the trains were crawling at snail's pace over this bridge. They were also stopping to flag the crossing just to the north of this location, as the crossing gates were toppled, and they had to be talked through all the signals on the line, as they were all out.
