NYC: Scenes From the Train

I thought I would share photos taken from the train ride on our way down to NYC. The tracks hug the Hudson River the whole way down.

Bear Mountain bridge

Old box cars

Sailboats at the Peekskill station

A lighthouse near Croton-Harmon

Can you guess which bridge this is?

It's the Tappan Zee bridge, taking many commuters from New York to New Jersey.

And there it goes…

This is a cool drawbridge near Spuyten-Duyvil. The actual span moves up and down. You can see Columbia University to the right.

Coming into the Bronx

Near 125th Street station, right before we go underground headed for Grand Central Terminal.

If your tootsies hurt after walking in the city all day, I found this for you.

Join me on Monday to hear and see what we did in the big city.

Have a great weekend!!

Janie~ Anytime for you. Anytime
Erin~ It’s always an experience. Our trains are not nearly as nice as the trains in Italy. Not nearly as fast either!!

I rode the Hudson Line several times this summer while visiting my daughter. The scenery is lovely, and I found this line to be so more pleasant than the Harlem Line, which I had been accustomed to in the past.
