OK Brian.
So Russ's bridge and your bridge are one and the same. Where is the cattle culvert? Have you been able to locate and/or acquire any photos of the line pre 1956 by now? I figure there were not too many photos at all and if there were they are scarce. I am going to make it a point to get up to Cooperstown this year and check out the NYS Archives building and see what they got! I heard they have a lot of pictures of bridges, trestles, and structures - maybe even grade crossings - along the entire D&H line and not just the Cherry Valley Branch. I am trying to figure out which building it is - I understand it is near the Farmer's Museum. I am really looking forward to your book.
