A view from the bridge...

(Flooding on the NS Lehigh Valley line in New Jersey)

This is the scene looking east around 1:30 on Monday (4/16) from the Interstate 287 north bound bridge towards Bound Brook. The bridge on the left is the ex-LVRR bridge that is now designated as part of CR's Shared Assets Lehigh Line. The bridge on the right is the former Reading Bridge. Beneath those murkey waters lie two sets of tracks. Judging from the amount of debris and water covering the tracks, one can only speculate when this stretch of tracks will be operational.
