Bear Mountain, NY (56k warning)

[asull85]

I took a trip out to Bear Mountain in Ft. Montgomery, NY a couple weeks ago. There you can sit and watch CSX, Amtrak, MetroNorth and barges on the Hudson.

Nice shots. Been to Bear Mt. dozens of time and somehow I never noticed the RR on the river... :shock:

Excellent spot for watching trains and river traffic. The colors there in autumn make it a prime shooting spot. Nice work!

You've discovered one of NY's hidden gems.
