After visiting Orange County Choppers, I eventually took a drive over the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge to nearby Beacon, NY to get in a little railfanning on the Hudson Line featuring Metro-North as well as Amtrak trains. I spent about an hour there (it was REALLY COLD out) and these are some photos I took during my absolutely frigid visit, enjoy... |
